Hi.

I am creating, the DNS zone.

I have created:

ns1.host.net A xx.xx.xxx.xx
ns2.host.net A xx.xx.xxx.xx
ftp CNAME
webmail CNAME
etc...

Also the glue records:

ns1.host.net A xx.xx.xxx.xx
ns2.host.net A xx.xx.xxx.xx

DNS has been modified by ns1 and ns2.

What should I do more?

Zone DNS:

Glue Records:

If you are using your DNS server DA already makes the necessary changes for you
When you are using external DNS then only you have to copy the DNS values from DA to your external DNS provider / registrar

Do you want to create your own nameservers? Then you can forget all about the first image, because the second one now takes care that your own nameservers are used.

So you have to set those up correctly in your Directadmin DNS. Take care that you have A and NS records for both your nameservers.

As for the DNS record, just let DA create them, don't create CNAME records for everything, no need for that.

Thanks a lot.

I go to Dashboard / DNS Administration and select the domain there, right?
