Zoho's MX for GOV.in and NIC.in: mgovcloud.in is registered with MarkMonitor and uses UltraDNS

manishmanish Member

Link: https://nixsanctuary.com/zoho-mx-for-gov-in-and-nic-in-why-mgovcloud-in-uses-us-based-markmonitor-and-ultradns/

Gov.in recently moved about 12 lakh email accounts to Indian vendor Zoho for uniformity and data sovereignty, except:

  1. Zoho's MX for government/public sector: mgovcloud.in (ccTLD from India) is registered with a US based Registrar MarkMonitor Inc
  2. Uses AnyCast UltraDNS by DigiCert (This project is for government employees/executives in India)

Makes no sense to me. NIC.in has own authoritative DNS.

Why is Zoho using US based providers and registrar for a pro data sovereignty project?

    Zoho is just another corporate like microsoft or whatnot, they will say this and that but in the end everything is for money. As for NIC india i believe we have nixi and irin but the bureaubrats limit everything and mess things up big time. Even in those nixi, irin and NIC departments I have seen clowns. I remember this year maybe around jan i informed the IP india department about a security bug in their trademark portal, received no updates and it took them two months to fix that(could have been fixed easily in an hour using data sanitization).

    NIXI has already opted Tucows as TSP for .in registry - backend services are now managed by them. This is why Gov.in root's NS is TRS [Tucows Registry Services]

    $ dig SOA gov.in +short
    ns.trs-dns.com. trs-ops.tucows.com. 1783701053 1800 900 604800 300
    
    $ dig NS gov.in +short
    ns10.trs-dns.org.
    ns01.trs-dns.com.
    ns01.trs-dns.net.
    ns10.trs-dns.info.
    

    I believe Gov.in's DNS hosting should be with nic.in for sovereignty. I don't know if Tucows changed the NS during migration or gov.in opted for Registry's default or I am not sure what happened.

  • When did LET look like Indian government? If you're looking for genuine answer, I'd expect 100 different places to ask.

    And I have reached out for a few of them already. Thank you!
