custom DNS and Directi

dad · July 31st, 2004, 12:37 AM

if i go to manage child name servers in the directi control panel and add my custom dns names and respective ips to create them is that all i have to do or do i have to do something over and above to register them?

rewording.. when i create child name servers in the control panel is that the same as registering them for use? thanks in advance

I think I understood you properly.

It is very easy to get the "customized nameservers" working. First, you have to make sure you are on a reseller or semi-dedicated/dedicated account. Next, you would head over to your domain name's registrar and set up ns1.yourdomain.com to point to your server's IP address for the first nameserver and ns2.yourdomain.com to point to your server's second IP address affiliated with its second nameserver (both included in your welcome e-mail). After that, you'd point your domain name to the new 'customized' nameservers

ns1.yourdomain.com
ns2.yourdomain.com

And once the propogation, which takes 24-72 hours, completes, your domain name will now be revolved around the customized nameservers and your clients (as well as your other domain names that you host on your account) can use those new 'customized' nameservers, as well.

According to a DirectI knowledge database article found at http://manage.directi.com/kb/servlet...et/faq456.html, it is correct that "child name servers" is the same as registering a nameserver for your domain name.
