Hi

How can I currently change what my dns setting is for my nameserver.

Ex. Currently people connect to me under the nameserver

ns0.happyplace.com

I want to change happyplace.com to sadplace.com as a nameserver of choice. How can I do this. Thanks.

I am the admin and I have both names registered and currently hosted on my server.

Many thanks!!

PS I have no active directory set up...just a vanilla runnin' 2003 server os.

 
The answer to this question is all about A records.

Create an A record in the sadplace.com zone that is the same as the ns0 A record that you have in the happyplace.com zone.

Then people can go to either ns0.happyplace.com or ns0.sadplace.com and reach you either way. If you don't want to be reached at happyplace.com, then you will need to remove the ns0 record in that zone.
