    Hi,

    Supposed i have 2 cPanel server on different location, one is on DC1 and the other on DC2.

    Server on DC1 is the main server and as main nameservers.
    Server on DC2 is for backup server, when server on DC1 down then all domain still online using server on DC2.

    well, the way name servers work is.... if one name server is down it will use the next. what you can do is assign one name server to point to one box and the other to another box

    make your main site the same on both sysetms and it will automatically go to the other server with no problems and no one would be able to tell the difference (except for brilliant geniuses that have nothing better to do than do an nslookup)

    So i need to setup one domain as nameservers to 2 of my server.

    Correct me if i am wrong :

    Server 1 on DC1 :
    ns1.mydomain.com = 69.xx.xx.01
    ns2.mydomain.com = 69.xx.xx.02

    Server 2 on DC2 :
    ns3.mydomain.com = 64.xx.xx.01
    ns4.mydomain.com = 64.xx.xx.02

    - All system and configuration on each server must the same.
    - I change mydomain.com on registrar to have 4 setting of nameservers with different IP's.
    - I use Transfers feature from WHM to transfer all site from Server 1 to Server 2

    DONE !!

    Is it correct ? Please correct me if the above steps wrong !

    Thank You
