How can I do this?

[fr600]

I have DirectAdmin and I have a domain for example: mydomain.com.

I want to change the nameservers from domain control panel to:
ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com

Now what I need to do in DA to make the nameserver and domain work?

Plz help, I'm new to this!!

Hello,

In your dns zone settings: (User Level -> DNS Management)

1) Make sure you have "A" records for "ns1" and "ns2" so that they resolve.

2) Set the 2 "NS" records to "ns1" and "ns2" (or "ns1.domain.com." and "ns2.domain.com."). If you use the full version, be sure to have the dots at the end of the .com.

3) register your namesevers at your domain registrar.

Those are the only 3 requirements for nameservers.
All of the "nameservers" pages and settings withing DA are just cosmetic and essentially just to the first 2 steps for you (3rd step you have to do).

Thank you so much.

I've created 2 A record from DNS Management:
- ns1 ... A ... 12.34.56.78
- ns2 ... A ... 12.34.56.78

Then I've created 2 NS records from DNS Management:
- domain.com ... ns ... ns1.domain.com.
- domain.com ... ns ... ns2.domain.com.

Then I registered 2 nameservers from domain control panel:

- ns1.domain.com ... 12.34.56.78
- ns2.domain.com ... 12.34.56.78

And finally I changed nameservers for domain.com in domain control panel to:
- ns1.domain.com
- ns2.domain.com

Is this going to work? Do I have to do anything else? Please help me with this.

EDIT: Never mind. It's working. Thanks for your help.
