Can I set DirectAdmin up to allow secondary DNS on another machine? I will do the DNS settings on the other machine manually. How can I tell DA to use the nameserver on the second machine? Do I add the IP address of the second machine?
Would it be better to just leave first and second DNS on the DA machine and add a third DNS manually for each domain? This would be a pain though, how would I know if a client needs DNS added for a domain?
I just don't understand how all these control panels only allow DNS on one machine? It doesn't make sense to use ns1 & ns2 on the same box, if the box goes down so does all your dns.... I know if the box is down then your site is down, but atleast if dns is working somewhere else you will get a dns reply so that email will be held and visitors won't get a no such domain name.
