A few Questions

[quest10101]

I have BIND DNS on another server and also a mail and was wondering what the BEST way to set this up and still be as automated as possible with adding new domains.

also

is there a way for a new user to see thier webspace before thier domain resolves to my server. for example some backdoor like "http://cpanelserver.com/~user"


Thanks for helping out a newbie!

As i know, CPanel knows how to handle a DNS server (CPanel install only for DNS pourpose)... if i understand what you need, then you create a relation between those 2 servers. Never did it before.

To see their webspace, let them login to your cpanel http://server_ip/cpanel
If you were refering at their files hosted on your server, what you said is right http://cpanel_ip/~user_name

You have given the answer to your questions yourself

If the WHM is on masterdomain.com which creates all cPanel accounts, then you can access the new site before DNS propogation with http://www.masterdomain.com/~user

You can even access the new user's cPanel with http://www.masterdomain.com/cpanel. Enter the username and password of the new user and you will be in the new account
