Need help from someone who knows about nameservs and DNS zones and stuff
The main website is canadaracing.ca
the other websites are montrealracing.com, ottwaracing.ca, torontoracing.net etc. I will appreviate the sites by CR MR, OR and TR
MontrealRacing has a huge vb because it was the first one I started. I bought 2 servers because one would not be able to handle the load of all the sites plus the vb.
I managed to get the server 1 up no prob. I used my own nameservers ns1.canadaracing.ca and ns2.canadaracing.ca. In the domain controls for CR I pointed the nameservers to ns1.canadaracing.ca and ns2.canadaracing.ca and I also had to add ips for each one since the site had the same name as the nameserver. Everything turned out ok and CR, OR, TR are running properly.
The problem is with MR. The website itself needs to be on server 1 but I need to forums to be on server 2.
My question is this: how do I setup the nameservers for server 2 if there is no real website that is going to be on it (only forums). I named the nameservers for server 2 ns1.ottawaracing.ca and ns2.ottawaracing.ca to give them names. I'm not sure how that might affect the ottawa site on server 1. I'm so lost when it comes to this nameserver and zone stuff. I'm using web host manager so if anyone know a bit about it I'd love some help. Thanks.
