I have been hosting web sites for years. I have upgraded to a plesk install on a third party virtual dedicated server. I have two plesk servers, one on linux and one windows.
I have over 50 domain names under my management. All of them have my dns servers entered at their registrars - ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com. (for my domain name) I have used my own dns servers, and a routing server to host multiple servers, web sites and services on two ips. (so http://clientdomain.com has name servers ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com)
I have set up all these web sites in the two plesk servers. I have found out that I can add a domain, with no web or mail services, and tell the dns to be a "secondary" It then asks me for the ip of the primary server. I told it the ip of the "other" server (where each dmain has it's hosting and email services)
So I have a copy of each domain on both of my servers. If the web hosting is on that server, the dns is "Master", if the hosting is on the other server, it's a secondary dns setup with no web hosting or email services.
The question is... how do I keep the info at the registrars the same (ns1.mydomain.com and ms2.mydomain.com) and make sure that these web sites can be found?
I feel like somethng's missing... I read where I should put the other dns server in the master record (for dynamic updates I think)
I'm not sure where to tell plesk who ns1. and ns2.mydomain.com is (or which specific records) and then I'm not sure this will work as a name server for all the domains?
Anyone out there with the wisdom and knowledge to assist me? You will have my gratitude forever if I can make this last change without incident^^.
I read that this is the setup I need to have... can anyone tell me hwo to make those ns records behave as my ns1 and ns2.mydomain.com name servers?
