Only 2 Name Server's with more than 3 Server's :P

[MATRIX]

Hello, I want to ask how the big Hosting company's do, for having more than 2 Server's only with 2 NameServer's (Ns.bighost.com and Ns2.bighost.com) and i want to know maybe a Tutorial or a How-to Set up a Main Server and Configure it to be a Mirror of the Slave Server's IP's (Not listed on the Name Servers).

Thanks all!

First off, this is in the wrong forum.

Second off, I don't understand your question.

Hosts that have more than 2 set of nameservers... such as ns1.domain.com, ns2.domain.com, ns3.domain.com and ns4.domain.com?

Servers use what is called BIND. And you setup BIND to work with those nameservers/

Ok. I know Bind and i know how to Configure it. But my Question is Simple, 3 Server's and Only 2 NS, how i can find a How-to configure the Main server to Look up for Domains on the Other's Server's IP's ?

Thanks

I guess you want to do it something like this...

First off you have everyone point their domain to
ns1.yourdomain.com
ns2.yourdomain.com

So for example, if you wanted zyx.com to be hosted on server 1 with an IP of 122.122.122.1 and you wanted abc.com to be hosted on server 2, with an IP of 122.122.2, you would have both point to
ns1.yourdomain.com
ns2.yourdomain.com.

And edit the zone file for zyx.com and do something like

zyx.com IN A 122.122.122.1
www IN CNAME zyx.com
ftp IN A 122.122.122.1

and for abc.com you woul do:

abc.com IN A 122.122.122.2
www IN CNAME abc.com
ftp IN A 122.122.122.2

So abc.com points to 122.122.122.2 and www.abc.com points to abc.com which points to 122.122.122.2. ftp.abc.com points to 122.122.122.2. At the top it's the same for zyx.com

The term "A" and the term "CNAME" are what kind it is. "A" can only be used with IP addresses and no ports, CNAME is like a redirect.

You can't do abc.com IN A 122.122.122.2:8080, ports are not allowed. and oyu can't do abc.com IN A xyc.com .. redirects are not allowed.

Well, not. I want these:

Everyone point they Domain to:
ns.mtxcs.net = 200.44.195.66
ns2.mtxcs.net = 200.44.32.136

Main Server IP's:
200.44.195.66 and 200.44.32.136 (running Cpanel)

Secondary Server's Ip'S:
12.43.22.43 and 12.32.12.32

Third Server Ip's:
55.32.12.11 and 55.22.12.33

How can i configure Bind to Search for Domains in that server's ?

Oh so you want to set up Global DNS on 3 or more servers using only 2 dns servers?

It doesn't SEARCH. You tell it where to point the domains.

So for example, abc.com has ns.mtxcs.net and ns2.mtxcx.net listed as their nameservers. On the The Main Server, you edit the DNS zone to look something like this:

abc.com IN A 12.43.22.43
www IN CNAME abc.com
ftp IN A 12.43.22.43
MX IN A 12.43.22.43
