Setting up Custom/Private Nameservers for your Resellers
This was the hardest topic to find clear and useful information on. I never did find any... but after taking a chance and experimenting with one of my dedis, it became clear.
Goto
Server Setup =>>
Tweak Settings
Scroll down to
System and check
Allow Sharing Nameserver Ips
When you setup a new reseller account...
Goto
Account Functions =>>
Create a New Account
Create new reseller account. Put a check in the
Reseller box and
Owner (only if reseller) box.
Goto
Resellers =>>
Reseller Center
Select the reseller and click on
Edit Privileges/Nameservers.
Set account creation and feature limits
At the bottom enter resellers nameservers (ns1.reseller.com, ns2.reseller.com).
IMPORTANT
If you wish to assign private IPs click on
Assign Ip Address, and then
Add an A entry for this nameserver.
If you want the name server to use shared IP addresses
do not assign an IP address.
Save your changes.
Goto
DNS Functions =>>
Edit a DNS Zone
Select reseller
Enter A entries for the nameservers along with their corrosponding IP addresses
Code:
ns1 14440 IN A 123.123.123.12
ns2 14440 IN A 123.123.123.13
Save your changes.
Your reseller's will have to create their nameservers at their domain registry as well. If they use Managed DNS, they will also have to add A records for the nameservers to their domain.
