theplanet and hostname problem

[bsdmanpl]

Hi
I have server on theplanet.com and I have a problem with hostname and nameservers. I'm adding a Hostname
"Found your domain name to be: mydomain.com
Found your main ip to be: 10.128.12.45"
After that I get entry for your hostname is missing ?

ThePlanet as most data centers do, setup the server with default information. You have to change it to your exact needs.

If you need assistance with this, just drop us an e-mail.

Hi
Is it true that I had to have 2 computers to set ns1 and ns2 ?

No, absolutely not! Where did you hear such a thing? The Primary (NS1) and Secondary (NS2) nameservers refer to the same server.

when I have my main domain on ns1.theplanet.com and ns2.theplanet.com do I need to change nameservers of my domain in my register to ns1.mydomain ns2.mydomain ?

I would read about servers, hosting , networking etc before you attempt to go any further.
10.128.12.45 is a private ip. You need to set up your correct main ip, your name servers in /etc/resolv.conf, and a variety of other tasks.
This is something you need to do yourself, kind a like the 'minimum job requirement'

To have full redundancy with your DNS each name server should actually be a separate machine on a separate network. If you use the same machine for all of your name servers you risk not having DNS resolve if the server goes down or is not accessible.
