Hello everyone,

I need someone to explain on how am I going to do this:

I have 2 VDS and the first VDS is used to host my private name servers such as ns1/ns2.mydomain.com. I have a new domain (i.e. newdomain.com) which is pointed to ns1/ns2.mydomain.com. Now... I would like to host my new domain (i.e. newdomain.com) in my second VDS. How am I go about doing it?

Thanks.

Regards,
Choon

Hi

I think you need to just add the virtual host on the second machine, and add a DNS zone to point to that IP from your first machine. You would update the name servers for the second domain with your ns1.mydomain.com name servers etc at your registrar.

I think I understood what you meant :-)

Hi Dotcomsnz,

Thanks and this means I don't need to run named/bind/DNS on my second VDS right? What I need to do is just add the necessary DNS in my first VDS and have an A record for that domain pointing to the IP address in my second VDS...

I hope I can be clear but poor in my english :P

Once again, thanks.

Kindest regards,
Choon

Hi,

Yes that means you don't don't need to run bind on the second server as long as you use the first one for all of your domains.
Yes add an A record to point to your second server.
Good luck.
