How to setup name servers ?
Hi,
I bought a domain name and I bought 2 x dedicated server with cpanel. I needed to create my own name servers for both of the servers.
My domain provider provides me DNS Management but I have to change domain's dns to domain provider's dns.
So my domain eg. foo.com, i changed its name servers to the ones provided by domain provider so I can use dns management i.e: ns1.domain-provider.com, ns2.domain-provider.com
After that I setup 4 child name servers (2 each for my 2 dedicated servers) i.e:
ns1.foo.com -> Dedicated server 1 - IP
ns2.foo.com -> Dedicated server 1 - IP
ns3.foo.com -> Dedicated server 2 - IP
ns4.foo.com -> Dedicated server 2 - IP
Then I goto DNS Management provided by my domain provider and do the following entries:
For dedicated server 1:
host0.foo.com IN A IP (same as ns1.foo.com)
ns1.foo.com IN A IP (same as ns1.foo.com)
ns2.foo.com IN A IP (same as ns2.foo.com)
For dedicated server 2:
host1.foo.com IN A IP (same as ns3.foo.com)
ns3.foo.com IN A IP (same as ns3.foo.com)
ns4.foo.com IN A IP (same as ns4.foo.com)
Then in WHM I setup name servers's like that only and add their A entries.
But when I check dns report it says that Glue is missing and clients are unable to open their websites, some are able to some are not. Why is this happening ??
Have I missed any step ??
Thanks.

Hello :) You may find the following thread useful: [Tutorial] Nameserver configuration on cPanel servers Did you change the name servers for your domain name at the registrar after creating the name servers at the registrar? This is a separate step you must complete. Thank you.0
