Hello,
I'll be doing a server->server transfer of all accounts soon.
I've read this:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=57
And it's all clear...but I have a few questions.
DNS: Will all dns lookups to the domains on the server be sent to the new server or the old, how is this stuff handled? Do I need to transfer all the domains to the new IP at the registrar?
Both servers has different IPs and some domains look like this at the domain registrar:
NS ns1.serverdomain.com
A 192.168.0.1 (OLD IP)
NS ns2.serverdomain.com
A 192.168.0.2 (OLD IP)
and some only list nameserver info like this:
NS ns1.serverdomain.com
NS ns2.serverdomain.com
I've *heard* from nunames support that the IP-adress isn't used when looking up the nameserver and it's the FQDN that is used...is this true for all top domains?
So how will the top domain nameserver know that it should send all queries to the new server...is it enough to just shutdown the old server or what?
Another question: Is there any way to have the new server have the same IP-adress as the old server? I then need to change the IP of the old server...but I guess that DA will stop working then because the IP in the license is invalid.
