Need help hosting forum on the sub domain

    Hello,

    I have a domain name registered via blogger custom domain. So this is done with eNom.

    I want to host a forum on my sub-domain. But the problem is, I cannot set the NS zone records in eNom for the subdomian. It only allows me to use CNAME or URL Redirect or A kind of zone records.

    I searched for many hosts who provide their CNAME like ghs.google.com for google. But no one gives a CNAME. Everyone is just showing their Name Servers, which I cannot set in eNom.

    So how can I get my work done?

    I have access to change A records and not NS records, So

    Can I resolve the IP address of nameserver like ns1.somehost.com <=> 209.x.x.x and then use this IP address in my A zone records?

    Im not so sure but let me try to help; did you try to use the zone manager instead of the nameserver? like use your own registrar's nameserver not from your host.

    So what you need to do is ask the admin or support of your host for the proper IP address for the site then simply type it in the A record and CNAME(not so sure.)
