Scheduling the nightly Nominet droplist download
The engine bundles a utility that downloads the Nominet droplist. To keep your targets fresh without touching it by hand, run it on a schedule:
- Confirm the download utility runs correctly when you invoke it manually.
- Add it to your server's cron so it runs once nightly.
- Have your process pick up the freshly downloaded list and feed the relevant names into your round-robin flatfile.
Because the server is set to UTC/Zulu, pick a cron time that comfortably precedes the day's drops so your list is ready before catching begins.
