All Janet services are governed by the Janet policies. As a minimum, Janet recommends that you run your primary nameserver within your organisation, and use a secondary off-site. Many organisations connected to Janet have reciprocal arrangements regarding the provision of off-site secondary nameservers, but if that is not suitable then Janet can arrange for the Janet Network Operations and Service Centre to provide this service for you.
