If I have two ips for one machine what do I need to create my own name servers?

I am going to use plesk v2.0 and have two ip addresses on one box. How do I setup my server so that I can have

dns1.mydomain.com
dns2.mydomain.com

Thank you

I don't know about the control panel aspect of it, but what you need are:

- DNS Server Software
- Register a HOST record for each name server

The first part involves setting up server software. Most likely, your control panel offers Bind, which is unfortunate IMO (it's the most common but there are much better alternatives). If you're afraid of the command line you'll probably end up using Bind, but I recommend TinyDNS.

The second part involves logging into your domain registrar where you registered the domain name. They should have an option to register a name server (or HOST record), and you'll want to use NS1 and NS2.YourDomain.

Note that you need to have the software running before registering the HOST record, unless this has changed recently. I know they used to check to make sure everything was working, but this might no longer be true. Either way, I'd recommend setting up the software, then registering the HOST record.

Once your name servers are registered (you can check this at http://www.NSIRegistry.com), you can then register domains with it.

Hope this helps.
