What are virtual name servers?
These are pretty cool things, instead of using ns1.yourisp.com in your Internic/whois record, you can have ns1.yourdomain.com. The major benefit of this is for people that do not want to run their own DNS server but sell web hosting on their dedicated server which was purchased from a company that allows you to use their DNS servers.

The problem:
I wanted to simply send ns1.mydomain.com to the IP of ns1.myisp.com and had to find out the hard way that there can be only one DNS host per IP.

The question:
For me to be able to forward all requests to ns1.mydomain.com to ns1.myisp.com, what do I need to do and what does my ISP need to do? Do they need to do anything more then route another IP to their primary name server and let me use it?

Thank You

Ask your host/ISP to set this up for you.

The ISP can do it, but ask first as normally there are additional charges for running your own nameservers.

Chicken, my ISP does not know how to do it, so I'm looking for some info how it can be done so I can explain it to them.

Wazeh, I do not want to run my own nameservers, thats why I'm trying to figure out how to setup virtual name servers. Furthermore, most ISPs will not charge you a peny extra for running a DNS server on your dedicated server.

You are right. Somehow I didn't see "dedicated" in the original post. I guess I need better glasses :D
