Hi, How do I create NS records for my domain so that I use. ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com My domain is registered with name.com and they are allowing me to register name servers and there is one option to create NS record also. These servers will be pointing to dreamhosts NS ip addresses. Can you please guide, because I am not getting any success.
take two usable IPs from your server, and create NS in name.com account, than add DNS record in your whm for those NS with assigned IP. NS takes time to update, so it might take around 24-48 hours before you ping them and check if they are working
@himtuna, I have created a guide on how to do this here: http://www.lazyscripter.com/2010/06/setting-up-private-nameservers/
Add host name server as ns1.ns1.mydomain.com pointing to first IP and ns2.mydomain.com pinting to second ip at your domain reistrar and now add namveserver at your nameserver field.
I tried doing that. ns1.mydomain.com will be created only if I use name.com NS records (ns1.name.com) If I change the NS records with my custom( ns1.mydomain.com) , then all the records will not work.
You may need to change your NS records on your server to point: Remove existing records for ns1, and ns2, then re-add them, if possible edit /var/named/yourdomain.com.db directly, set the $TTL to 300 change the serial to today 2011011301 and change these A records, and NS records: ns1 300 IN A NS1_IP ns2 300 IN A NS2_IP yourdomain.com. IN NS ns1.yourdomain.com. yourdomain.com. IN NS ns2.yourdomain.com. Then, try to re-register your nameservers at your registrar.
