Don't need to know immeditley, just for future refrence. Lets assume my free host gets popular and I have to buy another RaQ. Now I already have my own DNS on the first server. Is it possible to configure the second the have the same DNS entries to host more sites?

i might be a long way off here but .... I think you would have to update your nameservers and change the second ip to the server ip of your second machine.

But .. Thinking about it you should be able to use the same nameservers and ips you have used just put them in your dns control panel. Might work like that might not ...

That's what I was thinking. Putting the same IP and DNS entries on my second machine. Techincaly, since the actaul name is on that second server there shouldn't be any reason for it to get confused. But that's just a guess too.

Any other theories?

You can set one server up to establish A Trust Relationship With a Primary Nameserver. That way you can have all entries in the secondary server mirrored with the Primary. As for all the details, I really don't know.

Now that I think about it I can't put the same IP's on the second server or else when I try to login to admin, how will it know where to go? Any other ideas?

What do you mean by "same DNS entries"?

Same nameservers. But I don't think that will work.
