    Once you've set up a domain that you'd like to use with customer nameservers, you can go into edit dns zones, select that domain and add ns1 & ns2 in seperate boxes. It will look something like this:

    ns1 in A 98.102.102.123
    ns2 in A 98.102.102.123

    Hope this helps.

    Since the domain does not exist on that server, you would need to add an A entry to the server that does host the domain name, that points to the main IP of your new server. Using the example above, you would need to add a line like so:

    server1 in A 98.102.102.123

    Where 98.102.102.123 is the IP address of your VPS.

    Thanks for your help. I added my VPS IP in the main domain. Please tell me one more thing. Is it necessary to point the primary nameserver to the main server IP??

    Also if I update my nameserver IP now <both in my server and at my domain>, how long will it take to get fixed?

    Thanks all for your help.
