I'm at my wits end with this DNS stuff.

I have a RaQ4i on rackshack.net, and I'm looking for assistance setting up my own DNS server so I can have my own nameservers to offer my customers. Rackshack is not able to help me.

I have the IPs, just need some assistance. I'm willing to pay for this service. If you are interested in helping, please email me at rcollins@columbus.rr.com with what you charge for this setup.

Thank you in advance.

Maybe you should specify your problems....

I did, see my post from yesterday.

I am not sure if I could help. I set up DNS for my RaQ 3 before. I don't really know if RaQ4i is the same.

If you would take the risk, I can try for you. With no fee of course. Just e-mail me for details.

may be this can help you

(1) Virtual Sites:
*Setup a virtual site ns1.domain.com with IP1.
*Setup a virtual site ns2.domain.com with IP2.

(2) DNS:
*A record ns1.domain.com to IP1.
*A record ns2.domain.com to IP2.
*PTR record IP1 to ns1.domain.com.
*PTR record IP2 to ns2.domain.com

(3) Problems with International NICs:
If you want to register an international domain name, such as domain.DE or domain.FR or domain.AT or whatever, then there can be
certain problems.
*Some NICs won't accept nameservers with two successive IP addresses. This means for example ns1.domain.com 100.233.105.103 and
ns2.domain.com 100.233.105.104 won't be accepted. The C part of your second IP should be different.

For example:
ns1.domain.com 100.233.105.103
ns2.domain.com 100.233.106.103
OR
ns1.domain.com 100.233.88.103
ns2.domain.com 100.233.107.103
will both work with international NICs.
