Should your domain check the new DNS before you switch?

    Getting a new pair of nameservers doesn't always mean the provider has finished setting up your domain. For .de, DENIC checks that the servers are reachable and already answering authoritatively for the domain before accepting the change, which can catch a missing DNS zone.

    Would you find this useful when moving a website, or not at all?
