Quick question. After researching around the net a little bit It is my understanding that in order to setup isp config as my nameserver I would need to have 1 A record pointing to my ip and 2 NS records pointing to my ip. Is that it? just 3 records on godaddy and the rest in ispconfig?
In the registrar (GoDaddy) you list the nameservers for the domain, almost always 2 or more. NS records point to a hostname, not an ip address; you need an A and/or AAAA record for each nameserver.
at your registrar, you need to specify the FQDN of each of your nameservers. eg ns1.mydomain.com for domains you are providing naming services for, you need to provide NS records for each nameserver, using their FQDN as the data. in addition to this, if you are providing naming servers for the same domain the nameserver are on, you also need to provide: in that domains dns zone: A (ipv4) or AAAA (ipv6) records for each nameserver. with your registrar: glue records (ip address) for each nameserver. provide both A and AAAA records in your dns, and both ipv4 and ipv6 ip's for your glue records if you use both ipv4 and ipv6 on your servers.
I guess godaddy will not allow the same ip address for both NS1 and NS2 hostnames. I get slapped with a "Data management policy violation" error message. Thanks everyone for your input. I will have to try this again later on down the road.
Yeah, i only have 1 ip at the moment so I'll have to hold off on the name servers for the time being.
Not only the IP, but it should be on a different network, again, for redundancy. You never want your DNS service to be completely down.
You can try afraid.org free secondary dns server temporarily, so you can still run one primary dns server, if that is fine with you.
