Hi all, I'm in the middle of switching from VPS to fully dedicated server. On my old hosting all I had to do is from godaddy forward to their DNS ie. ns1.oldhostig.com and ns2.oldhostig.com and they also provided control panel where I could set A and MX records. Now the problem is I don't have that with current company so I followed this tutorial Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On Fedora 8 and installation went ok, now if I ping my domain ie. mydomain.com I get I could not find host blabla, but if I ping ns1.mydomain.com I get reply with ip that I set in godaddy CP. Obvisosly I need to understand how this should be setup, I 'm doing something wrong anter many many hours thinkg thru whatever I tried I does not work. can someone shed some light, I'm sure there's many people who run their own dedicated server and have this already setup.
If you want to host the DNS records for mydomain.com on ns1.mydomain.com, then you need a glue record: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glue_record#Circular_dependencies_and_glue_records
Thanks for the reply falko! So I followed this tutorial and by doing that I setup my glue records, correct?

The origin must be unique! that's because there's already Origin: mydomain.com. when I set NS2 then I can change from godaddy's to my own dns like in this tutorial falko or anyone else please shed some light, thanks!
Yes, there's two, one is mydomain.com domain and other mydomain2.us But when I want to create NS2 for ie. .us or .com it tells me Code: Error: This origin does already exist! The origin must be unique! EDIT: I gave up. Thanks for your help! Now I'm using godaddy's Total DNS Control
Thanks for the reply falko! Although www was set I wasn't able to get any reply with dig. I set it up with godaddy and its working great so far.
