After reading knightfoo post "ServerBeach DNS HowTo [Any OS]"
(ttp://serverbeach.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=544) I concluded that option 1 will best suite my needs but I have lots of questions:

1.- Do I need to configure DNS in Ensim if I am going to use n1.geodns.net, ns2.geodns.net? If so HOW?

2.- My business offers Domain Name Registration services, should I change the DNS info to point to n1.geodns.net, ns2.geodns.net if the client is going to host with us?

3.- Everytime I create a new Web Site, do I have to go to SB's DNS tool to add the domain? If so, what happens to my resellers, do I have to give them access to MyServerBeach?

I wish I could call SB's support and talk to a real person to speed up this migration nightmare but apparently this is a self serve shop.

Anyway, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

1. If you are using only GeoDNS nameservers, you do not need to configure any DNS zones on your server. It is actually a bad idea to do so.

2. If you are moving domains here and you are using only GeoDNS nameservers then you would have the nameservers changed to:

ns1.geodns.net
ns2.geodns.net

3. You should never give anyone access to MyServerBeach. This would allow them to modify your account, order new products/services, reboot your server, and request support under your name. If you have resellers, then I would recommend *not* using GeoDNS nameservers, which I stated in my HowTo. If you have resellers, you should use Option 2 or 3 from the HowTo ( http://www.serverbeach.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=544 ).
