How to use the same domain for multiple server DNSes?

Hello,

I'm wondering how can I use the same domain to setup 3 cPanel server DNSes, instead of having a dedicated domain for each server.

Here's an example of what I want to achieve:

Server A:

Hostname: a.mydomain.com

Name Server 1: ns1.mydomain.com

Name Server 2: ns2.mydomain.com

Server B:

Hostname: b.mydomain.com

Name Server 1: ns3.mydomain.com

Name Server 2: ns4.mydomain.com

Server C:

Hostname: c.mydomain.com

Name Server 1: ns5.mydomain.com

Name Server 2: ns6.mydomain.com

Please help. Thanks.

• Ok, what you've got there seems very odd. You setup should look something like this:

  Hostname Setup:

  Hostname: mydomain.com
  Name Server 1: ns1.mydomain.com
  Name Server 2: ns2.mydomain.com
  Name Server 3: ns3.mydomain.com
  Name Server 4: ns4.mydomain.com
  Name Server 5: ns5.mydomain.com
  Name Server 6: ns6.mydomain.com
  

  I assume you are using a commerical DNS hosting provider? Or do you actually have 6 DNS servers? I'm assuming hosting because if you've got the know-how to synchronise 6 DNS servers then this would be a no-brainer for you.

  So, log into your DNS hosting provider, and then create a records for your subdomains inside your zone for mydomain.com, such as

  • a - x.x.x.x
  • b - y.y.y.y
  • c - z.z.z.z

  (where x/y/z are the IP addresses of your actual servers).
