Re: [cobalt-users] Name Server Help



Hello,

I did it the following way. I received two IP addresses in two
different networks, both IPs are assigned to my server. You can call
your server whatever you want (e.g. server1 or cobaltraq3-1 or
something like that). Then create two virtual sites:

hostname 'ns1', domain 'yourdomain.com', IP #1
hostname 'ns2', domain 'yourdomain.com', IP #2

In the DNS configuration, you have to do the following:

ns1.yourdomain.com -> A Record -> IP #1
ns2.yourdomain.com -> A Record -> IP #2

What to do then depends on the registrar. With DE domains and DENIC,
you would make

nserver: ns1.yourdomain.com IP #1
nserver: ns2.yourdomain.com IP #2

for the record 'yourdomain.com'. Any other domain can just have

nserver: ns1.yourdomain.com
nserver: ns2.yourdomain.com

With Network Solutions, ask your provider to create a COHO-handle for
each of your nameserver. However, what to do with Network Solutions, I
don't know.

Good luck!
