Search Again: DNS Server Hostnames From: John May Date: Friday, June 1, 2001 Time: 10:10:22 am I think I already know the answer to this one, but I wanted to double-check to be sure: We've got a client that is interested in reselling their service, and would like to have the associated hostnames for various services to be customized to their company. With services such as FTP, mail, etc. this is easy - simply assign A records within their domain for their ftp.theirhostname.com, mail.theirhostname.com, etc. addresses. However, I believe nameservers are a different issue. AFAIK, each nameserver can only have one hostname. This means that they would be forced to use our ns1.pointinspace.com and ns2.pointinspace.com hostnames unless we set up completely separate DNS machines for them. I'm under the impression that I couldn't add ns1.theirhostname.com, ns2.theirhostname.com, etc. records to their domain and point them at the same IPs as our ns1.pointinspace.com, etc. DNS servers - then assign them to their DNS names in the registrar's records. Am I correct in this assumption, or is there some way to do what I think is not possible? - John -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- John May <mailto:jmay@pointinspace.com> President / Media Developer <http://www.pointinspace.com> Point In Space Internet Solutions ICQ: 35902494
