Okay, half of me is embarrassed to even have to ask this, but I've never done the lower end..."run BIND/named on your actual server" game..so here it goes...
I created a DirectAdmin server...named it vanity.lunarpages.com, more or less..very similar to what we will do when we sell thse servers...which will be more like cust0003.lunarpages.com or whatever...anyway...
I than made the primary domain on it "snickn.com" which currently is pointed at our main (standalone) nameservers.
I am trying to simulate exactly as a customer would do, which includes running bind and being their own nameserver.
I've read how to create the nameservers, and I believe I have them created on the DA server as ns1.snickn.com, ns2.snickn.com, however.....
Here's what's throwing me off, for snickn.com the nameservers should be themselves (ns1.snickn.com, ns2.snickn.com) since that's what the customer would use, however how would this work? My first thought would be to do a IN NS on our nameservers (ns1.dynamicname.com/ns2.dynamicname.com) but that's not something a customer would normally do, so that's nothing something I'd do...can I put ns1.snickn.com,ns2.snickn.com as the nameservers for snickn.com with the registrar, and will this still work?
I think I'm thinking way too far into this, but help would be appreciated...I admin 40+ large servers, however i've never to this day tried to run a nameserver on the same server I have my clients on...
