Ths only way I know of to change the name of the namespace is to re-install
the nameserver software and specify the correct info this time.

However, if you have lots of stuff in the namespace it is a problem. You will
need to extract it somehow. Let me know if that is the case.

To re-install the nameserver software you need to take a specific set of
steps or the code will be reinstalled but the namespace will be preserved
(not what you want here).

Here are the steps to destroy an existing clearinghouse and namesever
and then re-install;


    Warning: this procedure will blow away your existing local namespace,
    so only do this if you don't care what's currently in there:

A.  Prior to [re]installing dns:

    1.  $ @sys$manager:dns$stop
    2.  $ @sys$manager:dns$client_stop
    3.  $ delete sys$system:dns$global.gbl;
    4.  $ delete sys$system:dns$global_cache.gbl;
    5.  $ rename sys$system:dns$default_file.dat *_old.dat
    6.  $ delete <diskname>:[sys0.dns$server]<nodename>_ch.dns;
    7.  $ delete <diskname>:[sys0.dns$server]<nodename>_ch.gbl;

B.      Install dns making sure you have the latest dns V1.1 kit (apparently
        there was a patched kit released sometime after the original V1.1):

    1.  $ @sys$update:vmsinstal dns011 <kit_location>

C.      DNS post-installation instructions:

    1.  $ @sys$manager:dns$startup (note, the install will do this)
    2.  Add above to systartup_v5.com (if not already there).



I hope this helps
