How to apply a DNS ?

Hi,

I have a domain name on a previous server. Now I rent a CPanel server. I have created an account with this same domain name.

And so CPanel created a DNS zone for this domain.

But on my registrar, the DNS zone is still on the old server, and I cannot move it to the new one, as the AFNIC (this is a .fr) refuses the move, probably because the BIND infos do not match the new server.

So how can I do to apply the BIND/DNS info for my new server? Is this done automatically, and so I just have to wait? Or do I have to stop the bind service on the old server before?

I need my BIND to be on the new server "before" moving the DNS from the old one to the new one...

Thanks

You just need to add the DNS server "A" entries in the zone file on the new server so that they can pull the resolution for the new DNS server IPs.

It's a common check a lot of registars are using these days ...

You could do this from WHM in "Edit a DNS Zone" or from the SSH shell:
Code:
# cd /var/named
# pico domainname.fr.db
# service named restart
While editing the zone file in pico (or VI *my personal choice*),
you need to add "A" records for your DNS servers.
Code:
ns1 (or whatever you call your DNS server)  IN A  x.x.x.x
ns2  IN A y.y.y.y
