Does anybody know how can I setup DNS aliases for a reseller?
ie. ns.myhost.com is aliased by ns.reseller.com
ie. ns.myhost.com is aliased by ns.reseller.com

If it can't be done, it can't be done.. I was just wondering how it was done. Nevermind! ho247 08-04-2002, 01:17 PM That's right, each NS record requires a unique IP address, you can't have two or more nameservers pointing to the same IP addresses. It would be very useful for many hosts if that could be done though.

Alan Hence the query:D ToastyX 08-04-2002, 10:35 PM Hold on, I'm confused by the responses. NS records don't have IP addresses, and you CAN point more than one name server to the same IP address. webx 08-05-2002, 12:45 AM It can be done. We do it. It works great :) Just register new nameservers ns.yourreseller.com with your IP. We had a discussion on this a few months/weeks back. And almost all registrars now comply with this. There is nothing wrong with it. :cool: WII-Aaron 08-05-2002, 12:49 AM ??? Please explain. webx 08-05-2002, 12:55 AM Originally posted by WII-Aaron ??? Please explain. Is that for me? :) I already explained. Just register new nameservers with same IPs. Now here's a detailed explanation: ;) Your Nameservers: 1.1.1.1 ns1.you.com 1.1.1.2 ns2.you.com Ask your reseller to register nameservers at their domain registrar 1.1.1.1 ns1.reseller.com 1.1.1.2 ns2.reseller.com Simple as that. :cool: RackFive 08-05-2002, 01:02 AM i register it with godaddy.com and after 2 days dont work webx 08-05-2002, 01:07 AM We also have one pair of NS with godaddy and they are working fine. WII-Aaron 08-05-2002, 01:29 AM Gives me an error saying that there is already a nameserver associated with that IP address.

WII-Aaron 08-05-2002, 01:45 AM godady, but I also tried bulk register. webx 08-05-2002, 02:07 AM If I were you, I would send an email to customer support and ask them to start this thing :) The fact of the matter is that till mid-January this year, there was a rule that no same IP can use more than one nameservers. However this rule has been lifted and central registry now allows multiple nameservers (from different domains) to use same IP. There is nothing wrong technically. It was just a rule, which is no more. Check this out: whois ns1.easydns.com: 216.220.40.243 whois ns1.jeftovic.org: 216.220.40.243 Many of the registrars have not yet started this. Now you as a customer must ask them. I'm going to ask Godaddy now. Or move all my domains away from them. :stickout Dotster allows this. Can't say for others. BTW, I also tested at http://www.crsnic.net - if I check nameservers against IP, it brings all of them :) So basically the registrars are following the old rules. They need to update their software :rolleyes: MAX POWER 08-05-2002, 02:53 AM I :love: Dotster! :D MAX POWER :homer: ho247 08-05-2002, 03:06 AM The fact of the matter is that till mid-January this year, there was a rule that no same IP can use more than one nameservers.
