I'm running a site on a dedicated server:
(vps = virtual private network, with windows server 2008, IIS & DNS has been installed without any configs, have one dedicated IP address)
I am trying to setup DNS correctly for a specific domain (www.mydomain.com).
How do I properly setup the ns1
and ns2
nameservers and web zones for that domain, so its publicly live and viewable?
I'm running Windows Server 2008 r2 as the administrator user.
I am a system web developer and am so sorry for lack of knowledge about this situation, but I want to learn it step by step.
I would probably leave the DNS (primary and secondary) pointing at the VPS provider's nameservers and just update your DNS records (www = w.x.y.z) with whoever hosts your domain name.
Since you only have 1 IP address assigned I don't think you intend to host your own DNS nameservers. Better just remove the DNS role from the server.
