Re: EPP host renames

Hi Seth,

funny thing, we discussed this issue in the last days. This is a test
case I build for our QA suite (using generic domain names as example):

- Create domain example.com.
- Create host objects ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com and
  add them to example.com.
- Create domain otherdomain.com with nameservers ns1.example.com and
  ns2.example.com.
- Remove nameservers ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com from
  domain example.com.
- Delete domain example.com.

Now there may be two answers from the EPP server:

- 1001, action pending
- 2305, Object association prohibits operation

In case of 2305, we as a registrar need to take extra steps to delete
example.com. The best option in my opinion is: rename the
ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com to something that is out of the
(.com) zone (and remove all GLUE IPs!).

If the Google registry would allow the delete of the domain anyway (and
return 1001), we would be fine with that. Otherwhise I'd recommend
implementing host rename.

One thing to keep in mind: if we manage otherdomain.com, we'd be able to
remove the GLUE hosts from this domain name, which in pain on our side.
If the otherdomain.com is not managed by us, we're not capable of doing
so and we would not be able to delete the domain name.

Hope this helps.
