Authoritative servers
The service runs four authoritative NS servers:
- DNS hosting (actual) NS servers are.
a.ns.selectel.ru,b.ns.selectel.ru,c.ns.selectel.ru,d.ns.selectel.ru; - DNS hosting (legacy) NS servers are.
ns1.selectel.ru,ns2.selectel.ru,ns3.selectel.ru,ns4.selectel.ru.
Servers are protected by a firewall against DDoS attacks. Requests to authoritative servers are balanced within each data center and between data centers, so DNS hosting will process requests as long as at least one authoritative server is running.

Limitations
