I have read this article here (http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy) and this is a bit different than I have managed my DNS before. I did not use Total DNS. Instead, I created the 2 hosts (ns1 and ns2) with my server IPs, and then once those were active, I set my nameservers in GoDaddy to ns1.cfcoding.com and ns2.cfcoding.com. This guide shows a different approach. Which one is more accurate or does it matter? I ask because what I did was instead of supplying my own nameservers, I told it I was using the GoDaddy hosting. That gave me their nameservers and I was able to add in A records that point to my IP using Total DNS and I don't think the Host Summary had any affect there (maybe it did?). So now, since I have my own hosts and set those hosts as my nameservers, I don't get a valid response when querying my domains: Code: [root@ns www]# dig ns2.cfcoding.com ; <<>> DiG 9.6.2-P1-RedHat-9.6.2-3.P1.fc12 <<>> ns2.cfcoding.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 11857 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ns2.cfcoding.com.

No, I didn't. After reading, it looks like GoDaddy doesn't support that? Now for whatever reason, I can't access port 80 to my IP or via the hostname, nor can I 'dig'. Everything timesout on my end, yet when I go to the server itself, I can access the web just fine. Edit: this is a problem on my end. For whatever reason, when I have both network interfaces active, eth1 handles all the requests just fine, but eth0 times out for anything. If I unplug eth1 cable and restart the network, then eth0 works. Not sure what's up with that, but that's a different issue from the topic's original purpose.
In addition, when I create a new site such as foo.cfcoding.com, is ISPConfig supposed to create the A record for that or do I manually need to do it? I created 2 more domains and no records were created.
