NS server nightmare!!HELP!!!

Guest
I want to set my PLESK/linux to have www.wdzfx.com as my main site where I will
aliases 21domains under it. And at the same time I want ns1.wdzfx.com and
ns2.wdzfx.com as my new DNS servers ( currently ns1.concentric.com)
Also I will need and ecommerce site to be hosted ( 1 1p will be needed exclusively)
How can I do it if all I have is 3 IP's.
Here is what I have so far:

Host Record type Value
68.178.193.184 / 8 PTR <domain>.
68.178.195.113 / 24 PTR <domain>.
<domain>. NS ns1.wdzfx.com.
<domain>. NS ns2.wdzfx.com.
<domain>. A 68.178.195.113
<domain>. A 68.178.193.184
<domain>. MX (10) mail.<domain>.
ftp.<domain>. CNAME <domain>.
mail.<domain>. A <ip>
ns.<domain>. A <ip>
webmail.<domain>. A <ip>
 
First you need to go into plesk and add the IP to the server if not already, and then assign that IP to the hosting account you use for this domain. Then go into the domain physical hosting setup and set the IP of the domain, this should also set it for local DNS, but you may need to update external DNS if you are setting host file settings at your registrar instead of name servers.

You should also create an A record for each NS server entry so that they will resolve properly.

ns1.<domain>. A <ip>
ns2.<domain>. A <ip>
 
Virtual server setup

Maybe I am a bit mislead... I thought I could have a domain name, not register with any DNS
and then with my VPS, register it and a DNS server ns1.mydomain.com / ns2.mydomain.com.

USe the same name mydomain.com as my website ( hosted by myself). Problemn is
I can not get ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com to be a working NS.
I do all the setups and when it comes time to point to it I get an error.

Maybe if you could, please show me a from scratch setup:

I have these parameters set:

HOST..........................Record Type............Value
68.178.193.184 / 8 ............. PTR .............. <domain>.
68.178.195.113 / 24.............PTR .............<domain>.
<domain>...................... MX (10)............. mail.<domain>.
ftp.<domain>. ............... CNAME ............. <domain>.
mail.<domain>. ..................A ..................... ip>
wdzfx.<domain>............. NS ............. ..... ns2.wdzfx.com.
wdzfx.com.<domain>.......... NS .............ns1.wdzfx.com.
webmail.<domain>.............. A .................<ip>
www.wdzfx.com.<domain>......A .................68.178.193.184
www.wdzfx.com.<domain>. ....A..................68.178.195.113

more than what you mentioned...

Just a simple question.. Did you register your domain name servers ??
 
NS sERVER HELLL P

Yes I did, I got it working now, still having some problem with domains that are not in gdaddy's registrar - and adding aliases - I can't seem to find where to set the alias's start folder, so it always starts in the same folder that my main site - therefore it just duplicates it...
