cPanel: addon domain creation problem
I've the following problem:
domain name has 4 NameServers (dns management hosting). I created A record to point to shared IP (the hosting where I'd like to host web site). When I try to add "addon domain" cPanel keeps telling me that dns is configured wrong and I have to use hosting's NS
---
Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: 72.20.25.134,66.252.1.255,67.18.179.15,67.19.72.206 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver.
---
However, if I create subdomain (at dns management hosting) and point to same shared ip address, cPanel creates addon domain without any doubts...
I've contacted hoster... but their best solution is to use their NS which i dont wanna do
any help would be much appriciated.

Because the nameservers aren't pointing to the server's nameservers (as suggested), it is throwing the error. This is becoming more and more common as individuals start using more and more outsourced dns (dnsmadeeasy, etc).
How to resolve it? There are two ways:
#1: change your nameservers to point to the 4 server's nameservers (all of them, not just one or two). This can result in downtime, however, and isn't really recommended.
#2: Fix the option in WHM. In whm->tweak settings, make sure that this option is checked:
Allow Creation of Parked/Addon Domains that resolve to other servers (i.e. domain transfers) [This can be a major security problem. If you must have it enabled, be sure to not allow users to park common internet domains.]
This can (at times) become a security issue, but only if you don't keep a close eye on what your users are doing.Tom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire
