Two servers using the same domain name

Hello, ** I have root server access to 2 servers ** Currently, my first server that works fine has the hostname of hetzner.example.com with nameservers ns3.example.com & ns4.example.com Everything works fine here as intended ( I can add new cPanel accounts, and they can point their domains here ) I host my DNS zones in cPanel itself @ example.com I am adding a 2nd server with intention of using the hostname of usa.example.com with nameservers ns1.example.com & ns2.example.com From my understanding, I need to add DNS zones for my second server. Which I did this : DNS zone @ cpanel @ example.com hetzner.example.com. 14400 IN A usa.example.com. 14400 IN A In my usa.example.com cPanel/WHM ( I login via the IP ), I have also set the hostname as usa.example.com with an A entry of the same IP address. However, I cannot login my usa.example.com:2083 or usa.example.com:2087 yet ( after 4 hours after I set up cPanel ), only via its IPADDRESS:2083/7 Just wondering, do I need to wait longer for DNS to propogate ? Or have I configured something wrongly ! Thanks in advance !

  Hi, On the main domain example.com, you have to create a subdomain entry and keep the TTL low as possible (Keep it 400). Wait for 5-10 minutes and then check it again.. The subdomain resolution is pretty quick..

  Hello, Did you setup these "A" records on the cPanel server that hosts the DNS for "example.com"? Thank you.

  Yes, for both . These is what I see in my zone editor via cPanel at the moment example.com. 14400 IN MX Priority: 0 Destination: example.com hetzner.example.com. 14400 IN A 5.9.xx.xx usa.example.com. 14400 IN A 104.161.xxx.xx

  Hello, Do you receive the correct IP address when pinging "usa.example.com" from your local computer? Additionally, do you receive the same result when checking the record on a third-party website (e.g. centralops.net)? Thank you.
