This is assuming you've already done the request of an additional ip for a nameserver, as well as setting up the name server info with your registrar. (*NOTE* Where srv01.domain.com is is where you insert what you named your server. This could be secure.fred.com if you own fred.com and want the server named secure or however you want to do it. xx.xx.xx.xx represents the IP addresses you've been assigned for your server.) Log into your server via SSH2 as root or su - to root/super user paste (done simply by right clicking into the terminal window for those who don't know yet. ctrl + v and other windows commands do NOT work the same in SSH environment. Don't use them like you would use them for in windows!) in the commands in bold and edit as stated pico -w /etc/hosts change xx.xx.xx.xx ensim.rackshack.net ensim to xx.xx.xx.xx srv01.yourdomain.com ensim.rackshack.net ensim (ensim.rackshack.net ensim can be removed once domains are resolved, i've heard) ctrl + x y [enter] pico -w /etc/sysconfig/network change HOSTNAME="ensim.rackshack.net" to HOSTNAME="srv01.yourdomain.com" ctrl + x y [enter] hostname srv01.yourdomain.com (make sure you change your domain to be YOUR domain) service httpd restart service webppliance restart log into your ensim appliance control panel click on sites add name-based site (or IP-based, depending on how you do yours) add in the info for your primary domain on the server click on services click on the edit button (the one with the pencil) next to BIND click on Zones click on the primary domain that you just added in the drop down, select add an A record fill out the fields with ns1 and the main ip for the server, hit save add another A record fill out the fields with ns2 and the secondary ip for the server click on configure click on the edit button on your Primary Master rename to ns1.domain.com (of course changing to your domain) click on the edit for virtual DNS and enter in ns2.domain.com with the second ip address. http://forums.theplanet.com/index.php?showtopic=19353&hl=nameserver+howto
