Hello!
I have a problem.
i have 2 nameserver:
NS1.xxxxxxx.xxx with ip 90.xxx.xxx.001
NS2.xxxxxxx.xxx with ip 90.xxx.xxx.002

Now i have 3 Ips on my machine
1 x Hostname
2 x Nameserver and 2 Website with a dedicate ips.

in the DNS ZONE i can correctly see that the 2 ips are set properly...
but on IP USAGE TABLE i can see that only 1 Nameserver is using an Ip (the second). The other is not responding and can't see on the list.
Cpanel assign autimatically ips... so i can't select the right one for every NS.
There's a way to fix this??
I attach an image file for better show the issue

Hello :)

The functionality of the "Nameserver IPs" page is for visual purposes only. It is a report, and not a page meant to configure any aspect of DNS. It reports the nameservers used by DNS zones on the server, as well as a count of the the number of zones that use a given nameserver. The important entries on the cPanel server are the "A" records that you have added for your name servers. Thus, as long as you have registered these name servers to the matching IP addresses at the domain registrar, then no further DNS configuration is required. The "Nameserver IPs" page can include cached data, so you can safely ignore any mentions of "No IP" or a different IP on that page as it may take some time before it updates.

Note: cPanel version 11.42 introduces the "NS Record Report" option in place of the "Nameserver IP's" option.

Thank you.

well i see.
Anyway i'm not sure that everything is configured correctly.
On the old server i had an hostname like "[email protected]"
On the new server i set the Hostname "[email protected]"
But i've seen on the old there are 2 DNS zone (1 for hostname and 1 for domain).
So i suppose i have to delete the old one (on previous server) and recreate the Dns zone dore EVERYDOMAIN.COM on new server (wich contains NS records, A record for hostname etc.)
Isn't it?? Bacause i'm afraid that when i suspend the old server, the new will not work.... or i wrong? :confused:

Keep in mind that the use of the "@" character in a hostname is not valid. A valid hostname would be something like:

Code:
server.domain.com
As long as you have updated your name server IP addresses at the domain registrar to IP addresses used on the new server, and added the "A" records for your name servers on the cPanel server, it should be sufficient. The hostname can have it's own DNS Zone, or have an entry in the zone of the domain name it's associated with.

Thank you.

Oh sorry i make mistake about "@"character. Sure i know :)
Well now is all clear. Last question.. i have this error testing dns queries:

Mail server host name in greeting The configuration of your mail servers and your DNS are not ok! The report of the test is:
anydomain.com. -> vps.anydomain.com -> N.C.
Spam recognition software and RFC821 4.3 (also RFC2821 4.3.1) state that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting MUST have an A record pointing back to the same server.

On the old server this point was resolving itself.. What can i check to fix this??
I was thinking that "anydomain.com" DNS ZONE is Missing on the server.. but you wrote is not necessary
Many Thanks

Check to make sure a DNS zone exists for your hostname, or the "A" entry exists for it within the DNS zone of the domain name it's associated with. You can typically verify it's setup correctly by looking for warning messages when running:

Code:
/scripts/ipcheck --verbose
Thank you.
