[cobalt-users] Digital Nation DNS confusion NEED HELP PLEASE!



Digital Nation has one of the worst support page I have seen in a long time.
My problem is with their DNS. What I want is to have ns1.ienc.com and
ns1.ienc.com Not ns1.dn.net and ns2.dn.net as the DNS in NetSol.

Original Config:

Cobalt Server Name: COB320
Domain Name: dn.net
Primary DNS Server Address:  207.153.201.5
Secondary DNS Server Address: 206.43.192.76


The Change:

First I assume that I need to change my cobalt server name and domain name.
I did what they ask under "Changing the system's hostname" in
http://support.dedicatedserver.com/cobaltfaq.html

Change:
Cobalt server name: ienc
Domain Name: ienc.com
The rest I left alone as mention in the page.

Now I go to their Cobalt DNS in
http://support.dedicatedserver.com/cobaltdns.html and this is where the
confusion began. First it told me to do a ""dummy" virtual site which uses
your nameserver IP address."

Change:
Made a virtual site with ip.

Hostname: ns1.ienc.com
IP: 207.153.201.5
I assume from the support page that I need to point it at the Primary DNS
Server Address from the the original ip config.

I did the same thing on the Secondary DNS Server Address.

Change:
Made a virtual site with ip.

Hostname: ns2.ienc.com
IP: 206.43.192.76

I assume that it should point to the same Secondary DNS Server Address they
gave me.

Next I went to control panel > Domain Name Service (DNS) Server and did what
the support page told me to do
http://support.dedicatedserver.com/cobaltdns.html.

When every thing is done it look like this.
ns1.ienc.com  ->  207.153.201.5
ns2.ienc.com  ->  206.43.192.76
207.153.201.5/24  ->  ns1.ienc.com
206.43.192.76/24  ->  ns2.ienc.com

Now I gone to NetSol and fill out the host form and sumited it. Did I do it
right? Is just don't feel right that I am using dn.net IP address for my
Primary DNS Server Address and Secondary DNS Server Address. But in the
http://support.dedicatedserver.com/cobaltfaq.html under "Changing the
system's hostname" it told me not to change it. Do I need to email mail them
of the change? It did not mention in the support page so I assume that it is
not needed.

Very Confuse

Thanks for any help.
