This is what I have:
I have a good reliable host - WHM and a couple dozen domains. All of these domains are resolved using ns1.mynameservr.com ns2.mynameserver.com, ns3.mynameserver.com (where mynameserver.com is my namserver).
many of these domains are on their own IP adddress


This is what I want to do:
Have one or two (three or four) of these domains use ns1.othernameserver.com ns2 - you get the idea.

Question is - how do I go aboout this?

I am out of my comfort zone now.

Thanks in advance.

1) define ns1/2/3.othernameserver.com at the registrar, point them to the same IPs as ns1/2/3.mynameservr.com
2) change ns records in WHM DNS zone editor for the few domains in question

Another way is to play with WHM resellers and assigning them nameservers
but the above should be enough for what you described

Even ask your host to do it in a ticket.... My does it for free

If you dont want to learn any *linux* cmd, you can always open a ticket and your hosting provider will do it for you, it should be free.

This tutorial will help you: tutorials.itrpl.com - domain management

Its actually a very simple task if you have the understanding of DNS. First step you need to go to the domain registrar and create the ns1 and ns2.yourdomain.com and the point it to the correct IPs. Then be sure to set the domains nameservers to point to the ns1 and ns2.yourdomain.com.

Now if you have access to DNS you edit the domain you wish to have its own name servers you should see atleast 2 lines with NS. Just change the old name server to the new name server. Then create 2 A records where it would be something like
ns1.yourdomain.com. 14400 IN 192.x.x.x <-- your ip here

remember after every FQDN (fully qualified domain name) you type in full in the DNS you must always include a period after. Other wise if the name server ns1 is part of the domains dns your editing then you can simply put

ns1 14400 IN 192.x.x.x

I hope this gave you an idea. Sorry for the messy explanation ;)

But your host should be able to do this for you with out a problem
