adding additonal nameservers.

[AGNXNetworks]

I have a VPS with ns1.domain1.com and ns2.domain.com

and I want to have additonal nameservers like this:

ns1.domain2.com and ns2.domain2.com

How do I do this without taking the VPS down or having to reconfig the associated vps domain name?

If you have registered those nameservers in the registrar of domain2.com, and added A records for ns1 & ns2 in the DNS Zone of the domain domain2.com, then you just add them in WHM->Server Configuration->Basic cPanel & WHM Setup->Nameservers

But that will not change any existing DNS Zones, those you must edit manually.

I try that and it can't assign an IP... I have two IPs.

 

[quietFinn]

what do you mean by "it can't assign an I"?

Home »Server Configuration »Basic cPanel & WHM Setup

I go to assign an IP for the name server and it says:

Assigning IP address for ns1.domain2.net... ...Done

Sorry, you are out of IPs to assign as nameservers.

 

[quietFinn]

You do not need to do that, and in this case, you can not do that.

You assign the IPs when you create the A records, for ns1 & ns2, pointing to those 2 IPs you have.

OK, Got it and it works. Thanks.
