Nameservers Shared on 2 Dedicated Servers

This has been driving me nuts for years and I believe has caused so many unnecessary problems. Our former it guy setup our name servers and our dedicated servers. We just had our servers moved to a new location and the IT guy mentioned that they are set up wrong. Here is the setup Server 1: [LIST]

has nameserver domain "serverdns.com"

Name Server selection = BIND

IPv4 set to IP address #1 (IP#1)

Name servers set to [LIST]

ns1.serverdns.com with IP#2 and

ns2.serverdns.com with IP#1 Server 2: [LIST]

Name Server selection = BIND

IPv4 set to IP address #1 (IP#2)

Name servers set to [LIST]

ns1.serverdns.com with IP#2 and

ns2.serverdns.com with IP#3 (assigned to Server1) ** this must be wrong** Can someone tell me if there is a better way to do this? Should I add ns3 and ns4?

  Hello, You should setup NS3/NS4 with their own IP addresses unless you are using an existing DNS cluster, or unless you'd prefer to setup a DNS cluster using the instructions at: Guide to DNS Cluster Configurations - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Note that if you prefer to setup a cluster in order to use the same name servers on both cPanel servers, then you'd want to setup an additional server and install cPanel DNS-Only: DNS FAQ - Documentation - cPanel Documentation Thank you.
