Running your own NS.
This is really bothering me. Ok, here goes
Lets say ibought clocker.com
great
I have my own dedicated server. I have setup apache, ftp, all that stuff, all I need to do, is point my domain to one of my server IPS, configure apache and im set (CNAME + A record)
Anyhow, point is. Let's say i sign up with a service like zoneedit.com, so I can manage my DNS with them.
Don't get me wrong, zoneedit is great, but, what i REALLY want to do, is create ns1.clocker.com and ns2.clocker.com
run my OWN name servers.
I know they have to be on seperate machines, well they should be, but anyhow, atleast for ns1 i would like help setting up. I just need to know a few things:
I know tinydns, and that is what i plan on using, problem is, how do I get started? What i mean is, I can go setup tinydns all i want, that doesnt mean my domain will just start using ns1.clocker.com (or atleast thats whati have been told.)
Let's assume I own 216.139.228.15 as one of my ips.
I want to make ns1.clocker.com dns to 216.139.228.15, and i want my domain set so its primary name server is ns1.clocker.com
So, if i could do that, then i could edit my tinydns datafile, and do things on the fly, unlimited domains etc.
BUt I hear you have to go through some process? you cant just go creating your own name servers? Or can you?
What do i do first?
Do i login my zoneedit account
and create ns1.clocker.com and make it dns to 216.139.228.15 ? AND then login my domain acct, change my name server to ns1.clocker.com ??
then setup tinydns?
Is it really that easy? I was told you can't just do that
Can anyone help?
