Can i use the IP assigned to me - see inside

[Kevin]

Can i use the IP assigned to me by server beach which is 69.44.57.44 this way?


Register my domain name - "mylescorp.com" then attach that IP 69.44.57.44 to that name and register a nameserver as ns1.mylescorp.com. Then have the primary DNS namserver be ns1.mylescorp.com and the secondary be ns1.geodns.net.

Then under WHM set it up the same so ns1.mylescorp.com is primary and ns1.geodns.net is secondary.


If this is all right then do i have to do anything else or am i done?

P.S. I do not understand the Master and Slave thingy regarding DNS


Thanks in advance

When you register a domain, you do not attach it to an IP address .. you associate it with a pair of nameservers. When you register a nameserver, the hostname of the nameserver is associated with the IP address you specify. This means you would register ns1.mylescorp.com and associate it with the IP address of your server (69.44.57.44). Then you add the mylescorp.com domain to the DNS on your server. If you are using ServerBeach for secondary DNS, you need to have the following NS records in your mylescorp.com zone:

mylescorp.com. IN NS ns1.mylescorp.com.
mylescorp.com. IN NS ns1.geodns.net.
mylescorp.com. IN NS ns2.geodns.net.

and you need the following A record:

ns1.mylescorp.com. IN A 69.44.57.44

After that is done, you need to go to the DNS Tool in MyServerBeach and add the domain mylescorp.com, choosing "Slave" for the zone type.
