I want to start to use WHM/cPanel on my shared servers for my clients.
DNS is currently being done by BIND/MyDNS on ns.domain.com (Primary)
ns1.domain.com, ns2.domain.com, ns3.domain.com, ns4.domain.com, ns5.domain.com are all slave servers.
All in different data centers. 4 in the US and 1 in the UK.
The public registars only know about the slave servers (ns1 to ns5).
The primary server (ns.domain.com) is 100% in stealth mode.
We really like this configuration. Very little traffic/hits are going to our primary server.
In the move to WHM/cPanel, we would like to keep this design.
If I setup ns.domain.com as a WHM/DNS ONLY server and the WHM/cPanel hosts use 'ns.domain.com' as the DNS server, to make changes.
These changes then be zone transfered to the slave servers (ns1 to ns5).
The registar still only uses the slave servers.
Is this possible? Can this work?
I'm lost in the WHM/cPanel DNS requirements.
Thanks for any help/direction.
