turbopowerdmaxsteel 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2008 Recently, I purchased managed DNS for my TLD (maxotek.net), just to see if I could manually get the IP address to point to the new Gamma server IP address. The Managed DNS feature requires that I change the Name servers to:-WHIZ.EARTH.ORDERBOX-DNS.COMWHIZ.MARS.ORDERBOX-DNS.COM WHIZ.MERCURY.ORDERBOX-DNS.COM WHIZ.VENUS.ORDERBOX-DNS.COMBeing hosted at Asta, the name servers are required to point to:-NS.COMPUTINGHOST.COMNS2.COMPUTINGHOST.COMBecause, there were many slots for the name servers I appended the former name servers to the list. My question is that, will the simultaneous existence of all these name-servers cause any problem, considering they are from different providers - Xisto - Web Hosting.com and Whiz.in.

Miles 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2008 Most likely there will be problem. The many slots for DNS servers are, beyond the first 2, just lower priority ones, if I'm correct. Also, whilst some hosts do support domains which are using different DNS servers with the A-Record pointed to the host, I don't think Xisto allows it.

turbopowerdmaxsteel 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) So, what does a Nameserver exactly do? If I remove the Xisto - Web Hosting nameservers, can I use the Managed DNS Nameservers provided by my domain registrar to make the domain work properly with Xisto?[Edit]My Domain Management tool lists the following:- Note: The nameservers below may not appear in the same order as you entered them. The order is not important and will not affect your domain name resolution in any manner.
