How to change the IP address of NS2 to an DNS external server instead?

[syaman]

Greetings

My DA box has been set up in the following manner for the name servers

ns1 - IP 1 on DA box
ns2 - IP 2 on DA box
ns3 - external DNS slave server

I would like to change ns2 to point to the external DNS slave server, instead of the second IP on the DA box

I tried to delete the ns2 entry as outlined here
http://reseller.site-helper.com/nameserver.html
but it complains about
"You must select a nameserver ip pair (ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com)"

Or is this impossible i.e. ns1 and ns2 must be on the DA box?

Thank you!

add a second record ns2 A IP for the new ns2 server, than remove the old one.

And don't forget that setting up an A record for ns2 to point to an external DNS slave server doesn't automatically cause slave zones to exist on that server; you should probably use Multi Server option or Master2Slave DNS Replicator or some other option.

Thanks guys!

I also didn't realize I could use Clear NS at CMD_IP_MANAGER
