Custom nameservers - have i got the setting correct?

[mawilliams]

Hi there, I have recently got my first vps and have been trying to set-up my own nameservers. I have followed some on-line guides but I would just like to check if I have got set them correctly:

My nameserver domain is markwilliamshost.co.uk

1) In Plesk I have added the domain markwilliamshost.co.uk to the Clients section and have the current dns records set for it:

----------------------
91.192.192.80 / 24 PTR markwilliamshost.co.uk.
ftp.markwilliamshost.co.uk. CNAME markwilliamshost.co.uk.
mail.markwilliamshost.co.uk. A 91.192.192.80
markwilliamshost.co.uk. NS ns.markwilliamshost.co.uk.
markwilliamshost.co.uk. A 91.192.192.80
markwilliamshost.co.uk. MX (10) mail.markwilliamshost.co.uk.
ns.markwilliamshost.co.uk. A 91.192.192.80
ns2.markwilliamshost.co.uk. A 91.192.192.86
webmail.markwilliamshost.co.uk. A 91.192.192.80
ww.markwilliamshost.co.uk. CNAME markwilliamshost.co.uk.

-------------------

Then under my Server DNS Settings (zone template) I have the following:

<domain>. NS ns.<domain>.
<domain>. NS ns.markwilliamshost.co.uk.
<domain>. NS ns2.markwilliamshost.co.uk.
<domain>. A <ip>
<domain>. MX (10) mail.<domain>.
<ip> / 24 PTR <domain>.
ftp.<domain>. CNAME <domain>.
mail.<domain>. A <ip>
ns.<domain>. A <ip>
ns.<domain>. A 91.192.192.80
ns2.<domain>. A 91.192.192.86
webmail.<domain>. A <ip>


I would really appreciate some feedback on if these settings are correct or if I need to modify anything.

Many thanks in advance,
Mark Williams

This looks a bit strange. How did you add it? Is it just a way plesk does display in-addr.arpa ranges?

> ns.markwilliamshost.co.uk. A 91.192.192.80
> ns2.markwilliamshost.co.uk. A 91.192.192.86

How do you manage the secondary server from within plesk?

> ww.markwilliamshost.co.uk. CNAME markwilliamshost.co.uk.

This probably should be 'www' unless you realy want it to be 'ww'

Yeah that was there by default. I have read some tutorials saying take it out, of the zone template, but I don't really know what it does.

I had to request a secondary ip address from my host provider, they then set it up for me and that was it.

What do you think about the rest of it? Does it all look okay to you?
