nameserver setup

Hi, i am trying to work out the best way to setup nameservers. I currently use Hsphere CP (to much for my needs) and for this i just add 2 child nameservers in my resell,biz domain control panel. Then i set this domain as primary server domain with nameservers with two IPs on server.

I have been reading the docs and guides and see ref to glue records, do i really need these?

I have ISPconfig setup on one cloud server, and i have 2 ips for this server, can i just setup both nameservers to be on this setup?

Or is it best to keep ns2 on resell.biz?

cheers

 

thanks for reply.

The nameservers are

ns1.maindomain
ns2.maindomain


Do the nameservers have to have dedicated IPs, ie no other sites using them?

Or can ns1 share IP with main domain and other domains (shared IP)

cheers

 

Been looking at the following guides, but current ISPconfig doesn ot seem to have same dns features?

http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy_p2


But this one does

http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-run-your-own-name-server-with-ispconfig-3-and-fast-hosts

Question; when using this guide the server domain mydomain.net is going to be the same as the nameserver domain ns1.mydomain.net is this ok?

Think i am a little confused as to the server field in dns setup and domain i wish to have nameservers on.

I take i have to create a dns zone for the domain i used when first setting up ISPconfig?

 

Ok this is what i have done

create two child nameservers at resell.biz

ns1 points to main server IP
ns2 points to second IP on server

In ISPConfig

Setup dns zone
domain same as server field (mydomain.net)
ns1.mydomain.net
mail.mydomain.net

Added new records

NS ns2.mydomain.net

A ns1 (main server IP)
A ns2 (second server IP)

A check on mydomain.net show it pointing to correct nameservers and load the ISPconfig default webpage.


Have done correctly?

Will i be able to setup other domains using this name server?



cheers

 

Hi, so i have now added a client and logged in as client, i added a domain and set nameservers at registrar to point to the server new nameservers.

Doing a dns check i can see that the domain now point to new nameservers, but it still loads old site.

Hopefully this is most likely a dns propagation issue so will wait and see if it loads later.

In the dns check i found these entries for the new client domain.

should be worried about this?

 

That doesn't look good. Maybe you need to double-check your settings at resell.biz.

 

Will get onto resell.biz, though it seems to work as setup another domain pointing to these nameservers and it works?
