Setup Multiple Cpanel/WHM Servers
Hi there,
I need someone to walk me through this, please. I need help wrapping my head around setting up multiple servers.
I have two servers, host1.mydomain.net and host2.mydomain.net.
host1.mydomain IP addresses are x.x.x.2 - x.x.x.9
host2.mydomain IP addresses are x.x.x.10 - x.x.x.20
First questions - regarding name servers.
Do I setup my nameservers as
ns1.mydomain.net x.x.x.2
ns2.mydomain.net x.x.x.10
or
ns1.mydomain.net x.x.x.2
ns2.mydomain.net x.x.x.3
ns3.mydomain.net x.x.x.10
ns4.mydomain.net x.x.x.11
Second question - domains
Do I create mydomain.net on both servers? or on host1.mydomain.net only?
Final Question - Clustering
If I am clustering, the DNS is on both servers, correct?

First you can create same ns for both server without clustering. Second you have to create mydomain.net on first server and add records of second server in server1. Let me know if you have any other question 0 -

I'll further clarify - you can use the same domain for your nameserver on each machine, but it can't be the same exact nameserver name. The outline you presented as this: ns1.mydomain.net x.x.x.2 ns2.mydomain.net x.x.x.3 ns3.mydomain.net x.x.x.10 ns4.mydomain.net x.x.x.11
would work just fine to have one nameserver on each machine if that is how you want to configure things. If you'd rather set up a DNS cluster, you could do that as well, and then all your web servers would have a central DNS server.0 -
This is not going to work.
I"m already using it.0
