Does anyone know how to setup virtual dns for resellers? I think there is a way to register primary and secondary dns with unique ip addresses, but have it actually go to the real dns server.

just add 2 NS records with 2 IPs in the sites DNS records and register them

Go to >edit dns>click resellers domain> and add 2 NS records> ns1.reseller.net>ns2.reseller.net (make sure to assign 2 unused IPs) , save changes. Then go to resellers area and click on something like allow reseller> at the bottom part of it> enter the VirtualDNS.
I'm sorry. What control panel software is this for?

Well, that's the iffy part. That hasn't been decided yet. But I guess the question is a general *nix/bind type of question. :)

oh ok, just add 2 NS records and 2 reverse PTRs in your Bind server for said reseller domain and set the SOA for primary ns1.reseller.net. and register the virtual DNS.
