Hi, I would like to add another pair of nameservers to a domain. The scenerio is this: i.e.

Main domain: DOMAIN.COM
Current nameservers:
NS1.DOMAIN.COM 123.123.123.123
NS2.DOMAIN.COM 123.123.123.124

I would like to add a second pair of nameservers using a different ip group from another provider:
DNS3.OTHERDOMAIN.COM 321.321.321.321
DNS4.OTHERDOMAIN.COM 321.321.321.322

What is necessary to set this up so that if there is a problem with the domain and the first set of nameservers that the domain is then available using the second set of nameservers? Is this scenerio possible and how do I set it up?

Any help from DNS gurus gladly accepted. :)

Thanks :)

You don't need to do something special to accomplish that. Just add the new DNS servers to the existing ones so that your domain will have two more name servers. Just make sure all the servers are serving the correct zone.

As said above, make sure the zone file is correct on both DNS servers. Also make sure all 4 name servers are added as NS records in both server zone files, then just add the additional 2 name servers to the domain.

Hi and thankyou both for your information. I will proceed as suggested. :D
