i'm not certain if my understanding is correct anot, pls comments:

i have over 5 DA servers, so i should set up a dedicated DNS server, (maybe i get a reliable VPS instead), install DA, enable DNS Clustering from DA control panel. (enable multi_server)

the reason i want to have a dedicated DNS server was because i will want to have all my domains on these 5 servers to use the same DNS server as stated below:

the DNS server will be in the format of:
ns1.mydomain.com | ns2.mydomain.com

my question is how should i set at all my 5 DA servers?

for these 5 serveres, should i turn /multi server/ off and just set the DNS server for each server as ns1.mydomain.com | ns2.mydomain.com

or DA's DNS clustering is only intended to use 2 servers to cluster each other?

you could go with what I suggested in
that thread. user one (or two) servers
for ns1, and ns2.

the other servers should copy to those,
if you're only using the one server (or
two servers) for dns.

the other servers, where you host sites,
will be where you're creating and
editing zone files for the sites
hosted there.

so, those servers need to be set up to
copy to the servers you're using for dns,
only.
