Anyone who can help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I've set up my nameservers on a domain I have. That domain, let's say dnsdomain.co.uk, is working fine. I have created ns.dnsdomain.co.uk and ns2.dnsdomain.co.uk sucessfully.

I now want to point my other domains at it. Let's say I have domain1.co.uk and domain2.co.uk and I want them to work on the same server with IIS pointing them to different web sites.

I figure that has to be done by setting the host header name - am I correct?

As for the domains - I thought all I would have to do is change the domain name servers to ns.dnsdomain.co.uk and ns2.dnsdomain and it would all be fine... no such luck.

It seems to be pointing domain requests at me, as I enabled dns logging and I can see entries regarding dns requests (I think they're emails trying to get through.).

The thing I seem to be stuck on is setting up reverse dns. Let's say my IP to the outside world is 1.2.3.4 - do I set reverse dns to 3.2.1.in-addr.arpa.dns? Then what do I make as PTR records?



Yes - I'm new to all this and completely lost. The domain I set up the nameservers on works fine.
