So once more - my problem is solved. All we are doing now is a bit of autopsy for the curious... Floyd, that's very interesting, and it explains why we may have been miscommunicating for a while. ABOVE the screenshot you have posted (but on the same page) I have an entire section called...

Are you deliberately trying to misunderstand me? You got your point. You had it long ago. What was confusing me is Directadmin's "Nameservers" form ( /CMD_NAME_SERVER available under Extra Features->Nameservers). I assumed it's a Custombuild-style smart form that can read the current state of...

Which is why I was trying to take this to a separate thread even though I ended up getting scolded for it. Your instructions were fine for the initial problem, but in the meantime, I was trying to solve a different issue, namely how to switch back to a setup with only one IP. ;)

Seems like my knowledge gap isn't as big as I thought... https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/virtual-nameservers-vs-normal-nameserver-setup.43873/#post-223505 So if I get that correctly, the "nameserver" tab in Directadmin is just a tool to create the respective a records. If the tool...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been traveling and stuck between places. To sum this up one more time: I've had a setup that worked out for many years. Strictly speaking, this is not a technical issue, but a human one - someone in the Directadmin development team felt like it's a good idea to...

I agree, it's a mess now. I still believe I had valid reasons for switching threads, but it didn't work out, so I won't elaborate further. I will continue in the other thread (although my hopes are somewhat dwindling that it will be sorted out)...

Are you sure that is considered "best practice"? To me it sounds like "Why do you need to have your own car when you can ride the bus?" (And ironically, I agree on the bus.) To be fair, the issue is starting to confuse me. I've had my own ns1 and ns2 for ages, but on my server, resolv.conf is...

Thank you for enforcing netiquette - this should happen more often. In this case, however, I don't think it is warranted. Reason for necroposting: This issue has historic relevance, as setting up nameservers with just one IP *used* to be possible in Directadmin. I chose to follow up on this...

Sorry for digging this old thread from its grave, but I have the same issue as the thread starter, and it seems like a good place to follow up... The setup I had until a few days ago was using just one IP and it worked just fine. Records are set up correctly at my registrar. Unfortunately...

Two dozen domains actually. And I do run my own nameservers, which is why it is such a problem that I cannot add ns2 with the same IP as it was before.

Ok, but this fixes a problem you only have with external nameservers. ;) The idea, to my knowledge, is that the site is still reachable when one nameserver goes down. But if nameservers are on the same machine as the content, this makes no sense - if the site itself is down, all the nameservers...

Well it's 24 USD/year for something I don't need, and virtually the only situation I ever miss it is when German Internic wants me to jump through their idiotic bureaucratic hoops.

Correct me if I am wrong, but in my humble opinion it is utterly pointless to have different IPs for nameservers if you're self-hosting it all on the same machine. When the machine hosting the nameservers is down, the website is down, too, so the whole purpose of nameserver diversity is defeated...

Well, I forgot that the Germans will also check if there's actually a site (i.e. DNS Zone) set up on the other end. That's why one domain worked and the other didn't. Switching to enhanced skin was good advice, I wasn't aware it's still possible. So now that the domains updated, I'm ready to...

Actually it belongs to my VPS specifically. I pay 2 USD/month for it. I'm usually very reluctant to claim something *should* be working, but if it did previously but then doesn't anymore it is usually a strong case. EDIT: I think I found the problem...

I still believe that I need to fix the fact that I can't add the new IP as a nameserver. You guys are saying that it isn't necessary - which may be true - but the fact that I CAN'T do it, although it was possible before, indicates to me that something is wrong. I did this originally: There were...

Not sure if I understand you correctly. This is a single VPS hosting my websites. There is no seperate physical nameserver. If this was a simply propagation problem, I would expect the error to be: RESULT: failed STID: cd341203-b96b-4bf5-b8c2-713886ded784 ERROR: 53300102912 Nameserver error...

Those were my thoughts as well... probably getting old, not remembering what I did last time, etc. So yesterday I tried just going for the ns2 A records only. Seems I got lucky, because the domain I needed to update badly slipped through, even though there was a warning. RESULT: success...

This is all very weird. After logging out and in again, I was finally able to unassign my reseller account. Deleted the entry for the IP and tried again. This time, the device is eth0 instead of eth0:0 even though I did nothing differently. Next problem: When creating new namerservers, the...

Hi all - it's THAT time of the year again. To point a German domain to my server, I need to briefly assign a second IP to my other nameserver (if both nameservers point to the same IP, the update will fail). I've done this idiotic exercise multiple time with the old DirectAdmin interface, but...
