Nameservers Setup In HyperVM
May 7, 2009I have a Question Regarding nameserver Setup.The VPS has HyperVM + LxAdmin as control panel.I have configured and Update all software packages via ssh. now Http server + mysql is running.
I have 4 IP address, lets assume them as IP1,IP2,IP3,IP4 for simplicity.
IP1 is set Main Ipaddress in hypervm panel.
Then I has setup A records - NS1,NS2 pointing to IP3,IP4 respectively from my domain registrar's control panel.
What else needs to be done before start hosting websites?

Nameservers In VPS - Domain In Godaddy - Backup - How To Setup?
Aug 2, 2009I just got a VPS plan for the first time where I want to host several new websites. In the past I've used individual accounts to host a couple of other websites and haven't paid much attention to nameserver setup, just configured at my registrar whatever I was given from the hosting service.
So, I got a brand new domain to act as the host of the rest of the domains I'm setting up: www.example.com.
In the VPS I have setup this one as the default domain for nameservers: ns1.example.com
ns2.example.com
Question 1:
- Can I setup ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com as the nameserververs for www.example.com ? i.e. nameserver is used for the same domain in which it is named. Even if this is possible, is it a good idea or would it be better to host it somewhere else? When I try to define those as the nameservers in Godaddy I get the error message Nameserver not registered. What am I missing?
Other DNS questions
Question 2:
- If I host my nameservers in my VPS, I will need a separate IP for each one (ns1, ns2...and so on). Can I still use those IP's to actually host websites, or do I need additional IP's to host the actual sites? Any value in keeping each IP dedicated to a nameserver?
For example:
IP#1 = used for ns1
IP#2 = used for ns2
IP#1 = used for website 1
IP#2 = used for website 2
Question 3:
- Are DNS backup services valuable if I host my own nameservers? Any suggestions on good quality providers? Price not an issue.
Question 4:
- If I used DNS backup services for example.com will that apply to ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com which I used for my VPS? and therefore will be applicable to other domains I host? Does this make sense? Or would I need a separate backup for each domain I host? Can I use one backup for multiple domains?
Question 5:
- What are the drawbacks of hosting multiple sites under the same IP? I control all sites under these IPs
Question 6:
- Can somebody recommend a good resource to learn how IP, DNS, nameservers, etc work? Any book, paid website, video... anything ? While there's a ton of info on the web, all is scattered and none seems to be too detailed enough for somebody starting to learn about this.
How To Setup 2 Shared IPs For All Custom Resellers Nameservers
Aug 28, 2008I just ordered a dedicated server from WebNX and I got 5 IPs, I assigned 1st 2 IPS to my server ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com
Now I want to setup other 2 IPs shared for resellers accounts, so each reseller can have ns1.resellerdomain.com & ns2.resellerdomain.com
how can this be done?
Will The Nameservers Work If The Nameservers Are Pointed To A Parking Page
May 26, 2008Will the nameservers work if the nameservers are pointed to a parking page?
For example:
I need to change my nameservers to ns1.mywebhost.com and ns2.mywebhost.com
(nameservers are made up)
These nameservers are from my web hosting service provider. When I visit the nameservers, it shows up a parking page from a domain parking service (let's say NameDrive parking page)
Will the nameservers function correctly and will my websites work? I have this question because usually the nameservers that I use, they always point to a CP page or something like that rather than a parking page.
Dedicated Or Reseller Setup With Virtualization Or Decent Chroot Setup
Jul 31, 2008As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice
DNS Setup And FTP Setup [LXAdmin/HyperVM]
Aug 1, 2008I have learnt it is harder to setup than I initially expected (since I have just moved from a shared hosting service). I am in need of some help setting up my DNS servers, as I am very confused. Here is most of the info I know:
1) I am running HyperVM
2) I've installed LXAdmin
3) I own the domain (purchased from xeodomains.com) runemart.com
4) My VPS hostname is: vps.runemart.com
5) I know my IP
6) My host has said:
'For VPS customers that have a HyperVM login you can now host forward DNS on the DNS servers rdns1.vaserv.com (US)rdns2.vaserv.com (UK'
And I am unsure what this means/how to do it.
I am not sure if I need some more information to set up my DNS, however I am sure that I can get it if I do.
Now, my questions begin. Firstly, I need to point my domain - runemart.com - somewhere. I believe I need to set up my DNS via HyperVM or LXAdmin so that they are something like: ns1.runemart.com and ns2.runemart.com. Though, is this correct? Am I able to set up my own actual domain name servers, or will my domain have to point at something like rdns2.vaserv.com?
If anyone can assist me in this I would be very greatful, as I am waiting to get my website running. This is all I will ask for now, I will take it one step at a time =).
Nameservers
Oct 29, 2008Will domains still function if they have differing nameservers at the registry from what they do on the server side? i.e. domain1.com pointing to ns1/2.example.com at the registry but on the server the DNS zone has it as ns1/2.example2.com, baring in mind both sets of nameservers are pointing at the same server.

Jul 22, 2007I have purchased a reseller account from www.reseller.net (not real names) They provide me with ns1.reseller.net and ns2.reseller.net, as well as the two associated ip addresses. They tell me to use these 2 ip addresses to set up my own custom nameservers.
I want my own nameservers - ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com. Tech support at www.reseller.net tells me thay cannot help me. They tell me to go to the company where I purchased and manage the domain name www.mydomain.com.
I do, and find the control panel page where I -CREATE NAME SERVER-. This I do, and I use the above mentioned ip addresses. This seems to work. When I go back to this control panel page the next day, the entries I made are still there. Yet, I cannot "ping" my nameservers.
Now what? I have tried "google-ing" and not being a super-tech, I get lost. It appears that I must make some changes in my WHM, (I have a WHM...), but I have no access to any "Server" settings.
I have another reseller account with a totally different company, and when I asked them to set up custom nameservers, they just "did it" for me. Again, the hosting company was not related to the domain registering company.
Best Way To Set Up My Nameservers
Dec 7, 2007I am experimenting with setting up my first unmanaged dedicated server.
I have directadmin as a cp.
I have 5 separate IP's available to me.
I went to my domain registrar and set up host as ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com using my first two IP's that are available.
My question now is what is the best way to use my three remaining IP's? Do I set them up as completely different domain nameservers ie. ns1.otherdomain.com etc.? Out of those three, I thought you need two IP's per nameserver domain? Is that wrong thinking?
I don't want any relationship shown in a whois dns info between the ips.

Forwarding To IP Rather Than Nameservers?

Register Your Nameservers
Dec 6, 2006i have started moving domains from Cpanel/whm server to my HSphere server that uses a new nameserver, but have come up against problem with the new NameServer.
When moving .biz .info i get error about nameserver not being resgistered, after doing some seaching it appears that some domain resgistrars (in this case 123reg) are starting to enforce a security feature whereby All registrars need the name server registered before you can point any domain name to the name server.
Diggin further i found this at stargate.com which where i have my HSphere service domain:
1.
Registering a Child Name Server as mentioned above is just the first step. The Child Name Server needs to be registered at the Registry to only serve as a non-authoritative Record should your Child Name Server not be resolvable in some extreme condition.
This Name Server would start working only after you have added an Address (A) Record or Canonical (CNAME) Record for this Name Server within the Zone for the domain name (of this Child Name Server) at your own DNS Server, thus binding the NS to the IP Address.
Examples
i. If you are running your own DNS Servers then you would need to add a Zone for the domain name your-domain-name.com and create an A Record like
ns1.your-domain-name.com. 38400 IN A 111.222.333.444
ii. If you wish to simply point your Name Servers to another Name Servers, you may add a CNAME Record to those (while ensuring that those Name Servers have an A Record within the Zone created for your Name Servers as well).
ns1.your-domain-name.com. 38400 IN CNAME ns1.service-provider.com
Also at ns1.service-provider.com there should be an Zone for your-domain-name.com with an A Record for ns1.your-domain-name.com, making it authoritative for resolving your-domain-name.com.
In most cases your ISP would have already created the above for you and you need not bother about the same.
My service domain, and one i am using for nameservers, HSphere dns settings looks like
Name TTL Class Type Data Action
cp.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.83 Click to delete
ns1.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.84 Click to delete
ns2.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.85 Click to delete
web.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.86 Click to delete
mail.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.87 Click to delete
mysql.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.88 Click to delete
So from what i tell i have furfilled critria?
I have to say i am a little confused over this!
I am thinking that maybe i have to make some changes at stargate.com or maybe get my co-lo provider to make changes?
Which Domains Used By Which Nameservers?

Nameservers Are Not Reachable
Dec 16, 2006I have created 2 nameservers and assigned unique IPs to them and I have my domain dhingana.org using them. Everything was fine until today when suddenly I cannot reach dhingana.org.
I restarted BIND, Apache and even my server but still the same issue. I checked that Apache is still running.
My DNS reports for dhingana.org says:
A timeout occurred getting the NS records from your nameservers! None of your nameservers responded fast enough. They are probably down or unreachable. I can't continue since your nameservers aren't responding. If you have a Watchguard Firebox, it's due to a bug in their DNS Proxy, which must be disabled (31 Jul 2006 UPDATE: several years after being informed of this, there is a rumor that there is a fix that allows the Watchguard DNS proxy to work).

View 9 Replies View RelatedConfigure Two Nameservers?
Feb 16, 2008I have a question on how to set up (clone) two nameservers.
I have two VPS' with two IPs that are totaly independent of each other. Both running ispCP with Apache2, mail, ftp, mysql, AND bind9 as DNS managment.
So. I want these two server to be as independent as they are, BUT they should share NameServers with each other.
Something like this:
host1:
ns1.domain.com = host1
ns2.domain.com = host2
host2:
ns1.domain.com = host1 (or host2?? = inverted)
ns2.domain.com = host2 (or host1?? = inverted)
A lot of domains are running more then one NameServer, but I could not find any tutorial on how to "clone" the NS from one to an other. Is it enough to just add some kind of "transfer to IP setting" in bind, or do I have to have scripts that download settings and files from one server to an other regularly?
