Using Domain Name Server (DNS) And A Backup Server
Mar 4, 2007
I currently have two VPS servers, each with 2 DNS names running on them as follows:
dns1.mydomain.com (on Server A)
dns2.mydomain.com (on Server A)
dns3.mydomain.com (on Server B)
dns4.mydomain.com (on Server B)
I have websites running on each server and I would like to have something set-up so that when one server goes down, the other server displays a nice page saying the website is unavailable currently and will be back shortly - you know, something nicer then the normal "Server Not Found" default messages.
What is the best way to do this?
If I have CLIENTDOMAIN.COM and put them on Server A and they use all 4 DNS server names, will the top two DNS names always be used by people finding the website, and the bottom two choices only be used if the top two can't be found?
I believe I have to create an account on Server B for them as well, just only placing the temporary page within the account, rather then a whole copy of their website. Correct?

We have two in-house servers, one is hosting our public web server. The other one was just purchased to host a mirror of the production server (as a backup). The site is protected by an SSL cert... my question is how do i set up the server(s) so if/when the backup server needs to be switched into produciton, the SSL cert will transition flawlessly?
They are both apache 2 servers.

setting up a server running ZFS as a backup server. My only problem is that it's very new to me, and naturally I'm skeptical of it's redundancy capabilities etc, I don't want to get burned. Anyone used ZFS, what's your experience with it?

I'd like to know, how do you backup a cPanel dedicated server to a remote FTP server? WHM's backup only allows you to backup the client's accounts, but not the cPanel settings, or the stuff in /etc?

This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

I have been searching everywhere trying to find a tutorial but It is not going anywhere. Basically I need to create 2 nameservers for Godaddy and pretty much so when i type http://mysite.com it goes to my site. I can access everything from http://myip and everything works. Now is there a step by step on how to actually do it in the DNS Manager? I need help like what IP address do I use is it the router ip? The external IP?

i am currently with a host, hosting my important sites. I am now going to purchase some space from another host purely for storage purposes and bandwidth usage as they are within my budget.
Now i have my primary domain with my main host, and i would like to have a script or link from my current host which leads onto my 2nd host for users to upload their images or files. Now i have a problem, the second host that i will have will not have a registered domain attached to it, but rather it will be just storage.
I would prefer to have a subdomain from my primary host pointing to my second host. The problem is where will the subdomain point to? Or will it even work that way without having to purchase another domain?

I just purchased a new server with 4 hotswap HDD of 250GB each and reload with new CentOS 5 without any host control panel.
The purpose is to backup all my other Cpanel servers data remotely. All my Cpanel servers are fully managed servers. This is the first time i'm going to do all things by myself, so I'm really a newbie. Please don't advise me to hire a server admin because I end up learning nothing I need to learn..
1. My first step now is to secure & harden the server.
- Can anyone mind to share with me valueable knowledge of basic server security & hardening? I was also thinking to use sudo root password which my serveradmin actually did but I don't know how. But su - access level would be OK too.
- I also need to install firewall and close all kind of port and block all SSH connection from all kind of IP except my server & my own IP address only. Can anyone provide me a guide?
2. Secondly what I need is to install FTPd and create user for each hard drive with 2 directory inside.
/sda/server1/
/sda/server2/
/sdb/server3/
/sdb/server4/
/sdc/server5/ (reserved for future server)
/sdc/server6/ (reserved for future server)
/sdd/server7/ (reserved for future server)
/sdd/server8/ (reserved for future server)
Does anyone knows where to find documentation how do install ftpd and how to setup user pointed to the specific directory.

We have one Cloud Server hardware node that exists only as the backup location for containers and VMs in Cloud Server/PVA (it hosts no virtual servers). Can it also serve as a Backup Server Node?
A related question, in my case, is whether we can configure a Backup Server Node to use a particular drive/mount/directory, as we can with PVA? I couldn't find any info in the docs about any settings at all for the Backup Server Node.

We have a lot of unused domains that we'd like to setup domain parking for.
To keep it simple, we'd like to just change the namesevers to ns1.domainparking.com and ns2.domainparking.com (not real nameservers!) and the domains would then automatically show a simple web page.
We use cpanel servers and are wondering how easy this is to do? I've seem mention of wildcard dns? Is that the answer?

i have about 8 different domains i'd like to point to a nameserver (ns1./ns2.mydomain.com) on Win2k3 server, but i can't get them resolved through my nameserver without creating a manual forward lookup entry for each *parked* domain separatly..
Does anyone know how to resolve "parked" domains automatically on Win2k3 DNS??
I just can't find any answer for this, everything i've found required manual creation of lookup entries..
anyone?

I have a vps with dedicated ip's for my domain names.
I read that in order for mails coming from my server not be picked up as spam, i need to add reverse ip entries.
Now i have already added the glue nameserver records on my godaddy control panel,
ns1.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.40
ns2.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.41
But do i need to speak to the datacenter to add the reverse dns entries for my domain on their nameservers? What about if i host my nameservers offsite, but then have my webserver/mailserver etc inside the datacenter? Would i need to request the datacenter where the nameservers are hosted to add the reverse ip entries for the domain, and then the request the same from the datacenter for my web/mail servers to add the reverse entries?
Is it really required?

I've been having some DNS problems with one of my domains for quite some time now. The domain does not always resolve - some go days without being able to access the site.
I ran a simple BASH script to show what I mean. I replaced my domain with "mysite.net" and the IP with "xx.xx.xxx.xxx".
# for i in `seq 1 15`; do host mysite.net; done
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
Host mysite.net not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx

mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx
mysite.net mail is handled by 0 mysite.net.
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I have gone over the DNS records countless times and see no problems. The site is hosted on my own dedicated server.

I am fairly sure this is impossible, but I figured I'd ask anyway.....
Right now I have a forum setup at http://support.myhostingcompanydomain.com/forum/ and I would like to move the forum to another server on another network, so I'm wondering if its possible to have
http://support.myhostingcompanydomain.com hosted on one server and
http://support.myhostingcompanydomain.com/forum/ hosted on another?

I'm looking for a dedicated machine that will be used solely for rsync backups. (I don't want to use a shared rsync solution)
Requirements are simple, at least 1TB HD and < $99 a month. Should have a decent amount of RAM and processor, but other than that, I would think any reputable provider would do.
Most places I find a suitable server for $49 and then see it's another $50/mo. to upgrade to a 1TB hard drive. Hard to believe the markup for these larger drives considering they go for, what $89 now?

i'm running trixbox on vmware on my home vista (because i need the media center) box.. perfecto..
Anyway, i'm thinking about setting up a virtual box just as a backup server (ns3.xxxx.com?) for times like now when my server decides to fall out of the sky and nobody at dedicated now feels like responding. I'll try not to bring that issue to the forum but point is, has anybody ever used a VPS as a backup server? it sounds pretty simple actually if i could get one right now i'm game since without their e-mail my clients are helpless and they are blowing up my phone as i type.
Other question is regarding e-mails (the primary concern), many of these guys (my clients) still love squirl mail, how can i keep the boxes on either server synced? so when one is down the other 'continues'?
