DNS Records

Ok, I hope someone here can make sense of all this! My server host dont seem to understand what I'm after.

For around 6 months I had a Raq server which I had something like this setup:

ns.domain.com > 111.111.111.111 (primary)
ns2.domain.com > 222.222.222.222 (secondary)

I dont know how they got there etc. but all I had to do was setup "nameservers" on my domain via my domain registration company control panel and everything worked hunky dory!

A couple of months ago I upgraded the server to a Linux Red Hat 7.2 box with Ensim. When I did this they gave me 2 new IP addresses. If I do a reverse domain look up on these its like this

333.333.333.333 >>> Reverse Lookup: ns3.domain.com
444.444.444.444 >>> Reverse Lookup: ns4.domain.com

I dont actually want ns3 and ns4 as my primary/secondary name servers, so when I logged back into domain registration company control panel, all I did was update like so..

ns.domain.com > 333.333.333.333 (primary)
ns2.domain.com > 444.444.444.444 (secondary)

Was this ok??

When I logged into Ensim for the first time, the DNS/BIND manager had the "Primary" server setup with the name: ns.domain.com

When I try and add a second "Virtual Server" and enter:

ns2.domain.com IP: 444.444.444.444

It wont accept it. Fails to add virtual server!

Have I done something wrong?
