Where are IP's assigned to nameservers ?

[DA-nuevo]

Hi,

I'm a cPanel exported user so I'm used to it, sorry.

Is there a similar file like /etc/nameserverips ?

Thanks

I assume you've never used cPanel, sorry.

Is there a system file where nameservers are assigned to IPs ?

In the file I mention, you would find something like this:

123.123.123.123=ns1.domain.com ns4.domain.com
123.123.123.124=ns2.domain.com ns5.domain.com
123.123.123.125=ns3.domain.com ns6.domain.com

I see nameservers are mentioned in directadmin.conf but no IP's there.

Thanks

Its not the same line that. Ips and ns are assigned to each user seperately.

/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/USERNAME/user.conf

If they are a reseller then:

/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/USERNAME/reseller.conf

www.site-helper.com
www.directadmin.com/versions.php
help.directadmin.com

Ok thanks.

But there's no system wide setting for what nameservers should belong to what IP's or I'm just thinking cpanelish ?

I don't think there is. I could be wrong.

What I don't understand, is what the purpose of such a file would be, since BIND responds on all IP#s on the server. The only thing you need to be sure is that if the ns record is pointing to your server, that the IP# works and is open on the server.

In your NS records you never need an IP#. You only need an IP# if you've set up a nameserver in your domain, in which case you know which IP# you want to use.

I'm a bit confused concerning your intent.
