Name Server Confusion

[ntwaddel]

Ok, let me see if i can try and explain this....

Currently i have ns1 and ns2, two boxes, no control panels.

I am going to be setting up some new ensim boxes, if i am correct, each ensim box runs its own name server when you create the account.

So i notice most hosts would set it up so someone would have to set their domain to go to ns3 and ns4 to be on that box.

What am i am wondernig is, is there anyway that i can setup my primary/secondary name server to just foward the dns to the correct ensim server that holds the zones, this way EVERYONE can just set their domains to ns1 and ns2, then the dns server can redirect it to the correct ensim dns server. I dont know if that made any sense, but i am looking for some input :D

I'm not as familiar with Ensim as with cpanel, but I would think they work very similar as far as nameservers are conserned. When you setup your ensim server, you should be able to establish a DNS relationship with your existing nameservers. This way you can still keep the same two nameservers without adding extra ones or using up extra IP addresses.

For example, one of my machines has the namservers, ns1 and ns2... etc. Then each additional server is configured to pull information from that primary machine acting as a nameserver, so I don't have to setup new nameservers for each box.

Again, I'm not an Ensim master, so I couldn't tell you where to find this setting or anything, but I'm just assuming it has something similar in the setup somewhere :)
