I've managed to install ISPConfig 2 and make it work. I have questions regarding the DNS setup. My actual scenario looks like following... I have an server at a broadband operator company. This server, containing ISPConfig2, has the IP address (just example) '114.27.200.60'. I have registered two domain names of which one I want to use for the server itself and one that is to be a client. The intended server domain name (just example) is: 'myserverdomain.com'. The client domain name is: 'myclientdomain.com'. I told the domain registrar, when ordering the domains, to point the DNS server IP (NS1 and NS2) to my server with the ISPConfig2 (114.27.200.60) for both domains. That is because I run my own DNS server with the ISPConfig2 setup. My first question is... Under 'DNS Manager' / 'DNS Entry' / 'Options'... -What shall I enter in the fields 'Nameserver 1' and 'Nameserver 2'? Shall I enter the IP address to the DNS server from my Service Provider (broadband company where the server is located) or shall I enter the IP address of my own DNS server (114.27.200.60)? Second question: -How do I use the "Slave DNS" under 'DNS Manager'? Third question: Do I need to have an external ISP provided DNS server to hold the DNS information for the domain name I want to use for the ISPConfig server itself (myserverdomain.com) or can it be handled by the DNS server that is used by ISPConfig2?

Please see here for how to setup a dns server: http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_providerdomain_schlund The setup is similar for all other providers as well.
