Okay, I'm not sure how I want to ask this question, but I'm going to give it my best shot lol.

I know of a hosting company that uses the same 2 nameservers for all of their servers:
ns1.theirsite.com points to one IP
ns2.theirsite.com points to another IP
And they have several different servers (at least 10 or more)

How can I do that for my servers? I already own two servers, and I have it set up that way (sort of):
ns1.mysite.com points to the IP of the first server
ns2.mysite.com points to the IP of the second server

When I get a third server, how do I set ns1 & ns2 to work on that one as well? Is this possible in Direct Admin?
 
I'm not sure if that topic applies to what I want to do, so let me sort of reword my original question:

How do I set up several different serves to use only 2 nameservers?

NS1.DOMAIN.COM
NS2.DOMAIN.COM

If I had 5 different servers, I would want them all to use those 2 nameservers. How do I set that up?
 
You're right in that link won't help you.

Google some information on hidden masters.

What you need to do is create two nameservers completely separate from your hosting services.

Then figure out a way to get those two nameservers to work as slaves to your DA servers, which will be the hidden masters.

One way to do it would be to use our master2slave script, which you can find discussed on these forums.
