How to do DNS hosting?
I have a dedicated server and have over 100 accounts and growing. However I have had a need to host DNS for people who have their web sites on other servers, but I don't know how to do it.Reason for this is that a company in my specialty field offers a tracking program on their server. However they do not do DNS hosting and the customer has to get outside DNS hosting. Since I provide other services to my customers, it would be a natural if I could host the DNS for their domain name and direct their web site to the proper place at the company with the tracking program (for a fee of course)
As an example one of my customers sent me the info below. It was what this comany that offered the tracking program instructed them to have their "DNS host" change about their domain name. This domain name is currently hosted on my server (their NS1 and NS2 info is already that of my server).
Here are the instructions they sent me to change for their domain which is hosted on my server (I changed their domain name and added a few x's in the IP numbers for privacy reasons):
----------------
theirdomain.com IN A 66.2xx.1xx.43
theirdomain.com IN MX mail.theirdomain.com
mail.theirdomain.com IN A 66.2xx.1xx.24
www.theirdomain.com IN A 66.2xx.1xx.43
If you need an entry field for MX Priority or MX Preference assign a value of 10 to this field.
--------------------------------------
So where and how would I do this? Supposedly it will allow their domain and email to go to the other company's server with the tracking program. I would rather do this for them than to allow them to go to a third party DNS provider for 2 reasons, 1. I can make a little money from it, and 2. they are customers of mine for other services already anyway and I could set this up for them far easier than they could do it themselves (once I learned how)
Sorry to be so long, thanks for any help!
