this is the scenario

  • I have access to 2 Cpanel/WHM Web Servers (server1, server2)
  • My domain registrar is Name.com
  • Current name servers on server1
    • ns1.maindns.com 1.1.1.1
    • ns2.maindns.com 1.1.1.2
  • New server2 name servers
    • 2.2.2.2
    • 2.2.2.3

So, now that I have a new server2, how do I proceed to host a new web/domain on server2 using current ns1.maindns.com ns2.mainds.com ?

At my registrar i have the option to register nameservers and there is an option to asign multiples IP's to a NS: for example

  • ns1.maindns.com
    • 1.1.1.1
    • 2.2.2.2

is that posible? or do i have to register a new ns3,ns4 pointing to DNS server2?

In advance, thanks to all of you who respond.

Update: 8/7/2011 I ended up configuring a DNS cluster. I have 2 separate servers on diferent locations with cpanel dns only which is free by the way. then enable DNS clustering on each of my webservers (cpanel/whm 1 and 2).

By default cpanel does not create zone files on multiple DNS servers. So if you are not going to setup clustered name servers, then you need to use ns3/4.

Thanks n8whnp, I just found a youtube video explaining how to setup clustered name servers. youtube.com/watch?v=aJ-J7VKdVWw I suppose that i can just do the same if i escalate... i mean, can i add as many cpanel/WHM servers and configure it as clusters... – mauri Jul 30 '11 at 10:20
even if you do that, name each DNS servers different names and let your customers put in multiple DNS servers. – n8whnp Jul 30 '11 at 12:51
