Working without nameservers?

[beley]

I'm setting up a web server for a large enterprise sized network (over 60 servers - most running Novell). They have their DNS managed through one of the Novell servers...

So when I got Cpanel/WHM installed and opened it's asking me for a lot of nameserver information. I get the following two popups everytime I go into WHM...

Hostname A Entry Missing
The server was unable to lookup an an A entry for its hostname (tcssweb.troup.k12.ga.us). This is generally because the entry was never added. However this could also be the result of your nameserver(s) being down. If you would like to attempt to automaticlly add the entry, Click Here.

and

Resolver Setup
This wizard will guide you though setting up your resolver configuration file (/etc/resolv.conf).

What, if anything, do I need to configure for these? The only websites right now are on static IP's and are already in the main DNS. Also, if I wanted to create virtual sites later what would I need to do? Just poin tthem to the main server IP in the DNS server?

Thanks for helping such a newbie - I appreciate it!

Not exactly... aside from my hosting business I'm a full time network / pc technician and run the web servers for a local school system - cpanel was good enough to give educational institutions a free license.

Good to hear from you

That is cool.

Actually I like Cpanel a lot.

I am not happy with mchost though.

I'm migrating all of my sites out of there as time allows.

Take Care,

Joe
