Bulk management of registry objects

Abstract

A system and method for modifying a bulk set of domain names through bulk operations. A request to modify a bulk set of data associated with domain names is received by a registry. A bulk processing engine associated with the registry can analyze the requested update job, and enforce compliance with a set of policies governing the operation of registry. A priority level can also be assigned to the requested job, so that it will be executed before or after other pending jobs. The user can likewise provide user-supplied policies, which can also be validated against the set of registry policies. Data faults can be reduced or eliminated, and update operations can be performed by comparatively inexperienced personnel.

1 . A method of managing a domain name system substantially as shown and described.
