Hello,

I'm about to obtain a second server and i wish my customers to be able to use my existing ns1&2 nameservers. So i have ns1&2 pointing to two ip addresses on my existing server, how do i set it up so that those two nameservers will also point to my second server (separate datacenter)?

Thanks,
Greg.

I assume you want to run one server as the primary name server and the other as the secondary name server? Yes? Anyway, just run one as the primary and the other as the secondary. The primary will update the secondary with any new information if the zone file's serial is incremented, for example. Wait, before I go any further, what name service are you running one these? BIND, bjbdns, or?

Both servers will be running Plesk so i'm pretty sure it uses BIND. This is new to me so please explain everything you mention ;) Yes, i would like to use the second server as the primary and the existing server the secondary. Do I need to setup my domain on both servers then setup the NS records?
