[wellylug] DNS beginner

[Mark Foster]

John,

The UDAI is used to validate you are entitled to move the domain from one 
registrar to another.  It shouldn't be necessary for any other domain name 
changes (including DNS record changes.)

Feel free to contact me off-list with specifics and I can probably help. 
The details are slightly different depending on your registrar's 
individual systems...

Mark.
