    So I have a dedicated server and I want to setup 2 cpanel dns servers.

    My question is, when do I point my ns1.mycompany.com and ns2.mycompany.com

    If my nameserver IPs are 123.123.123.111 and 123.123.123.222
    I should point ns1.mycompany.com to 123.123.123.111 and ns2.mycompany.com to 123.123.123.222

    correct?

    If you are setting up private nameservers and those are the IPs you have and wish to use for those nameservers, then you can register them with the IPs you've indicated. It is up to you to decide what IPs to use for the registration and the DNS zones for those nameservers.

    Well, on the web server under whm, I'm trying to change the Nameserver IPs, but it won't let me. It always resets to the original IPs. I have tried to change the Nameserver IPs via the basic cPanel setup menu, but still no luck. The only thing I can do is add an entry. So my question would be, after I add the dns servers to the cluster and point ns1.mycompany.com and ns2.mycompany.com to the cpanel dns servers (via godaddy), is there anything else in cpanel/whm that needs to be configured?

    The WHM > Nameserver IPs area is not used to change the IPs for nameservers. This area simply detects the IPs listed already in /etc/nameserverips file or that are registered by nameserver whois databases (if those are cached, it pulls the wrong IPs).

    If you wish to change the IPs for the nameservers, this is done in WHM > Basic cPanel & WHM Setup area instead. You would simply use the "Add an A entry for this nameserver" button, change the IP in the box that pops up to the new IP, then click the "Add Entry" button in that popup box.

    Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

    On another note, does cpanel have surveys?

    You are very welcome. As for the survey question, I'm unclear what type of survey you are wanting to do. Can you please provide an example of what you are looking for precisely?

    Ah, I see. There aren't any for the forums, but your feedback here is well appreciated! :)

    For any ticket you submit to the desk, we do have a feedback form, though.
