Any Linux tech out their who can answer some questions about a DNS? |
|
I am trying to set one up, and wish to confirm what I am doing before I do it.

I am using Plesk on an Apache server.
I want to set up a domain so that I can host the web site, run email, ftp.
I am reading through the docs, but at times it is not terribly helpful
I have a shared IP available and two dedicated IPs. If I understand correctly I have to use the two dedicated for the name servers. In this case: ns1.toonforge.com, ns2.toonforge.com
Is this correct?

sounds correct. I'd RTFM just to make sure though.

this particular manual isn't terribly helpful.
so I need two NS records (using the dedicated IPs), an A record (using the shared IP) and an MX record (also using the shared IP)?

it's been a while since I've done DNS, so I'm doing it blind here.

7. Then I have to point the domain record |
|
with my registrar at the two NS addresses?

9. Actually, I read that page and am confused |
|
ADD A: Records ns1.mynameserver.com (first IP) ns2.mynameserver.com (second IP)
ADD NS: Records: mynameserver.com ns1.mynameserver.com mynameserver.com ns2.mynameserver.com
OK, so far som good. Makes sense.
THEN it says right underneath:
DELETE the A and NS records for ns.mynameserver.com, they're not used.
HUH?
I just created them, now I delete them?

10. You delete the ns.mynameserver.com records ... |
|
because you created the ns1.mynameserver.com and ns2.mynameserver.com records.

been a while for me too. When you create the new records, you delete any records that were there previously. Good luck :hi:.
