Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable medium is described for providing access to remote users to allow dynamic updating of configuration information in active use. In some situations, the configuration information being dynamically updated is various types of Domain Name System (DNS) information, including DNS resource records, configuration records, whois records, and delegation records. Depending on the manner in which configuration information is stored and used by a computer, that configuration information can be dynamically updated in different manners. The remote access can be provided in various ways, such as by providing a Web page to the user including the DNS information to be modified and selectable indications that send a request or instruction to modify the DNS information.
