Hi All,
Here is the my case.....
I have a small company with more than 10 domain names registered with various registrars. My hosting company "xyz" gave me the following name servers.
ns1.xyz.com - 123.123.123.111
ns2.xyz.com - 123.123.123.112
But, I want to use my own company "mycompany.com" name in the name servers so that my clients will not know about xyz.com.
So, I have registered name servers with the registrar where I have registered "mycompany.com" as follows...
ns1.mycompany.com - 123.123.123.111
ns2.mycompany.com - 123.123.123.112
Things are working fine this way for more than couple of years.
Now, I took a dedicated server with another hosting company - "newcompany.com". This new company assigned three static IP addresses to my box - let's call them as...
255.100.100.101 (A)
255.100.100.102 (B)
255.100.100.103 (C)
I am able to access the box with any of these ip addresses.
This "newcompany.com" has two dns (name?) servers such as
ns1.newcompany.com - 100.100.100.101 (X)
ns2.newcompany.com - 100.100.100.102 (Y)
Btw, the box has Win 2000 and IIS 5.0. I created a web site in the IIS and assigned it to one of the three IP addresses and I am able to browse the web pages using that IP address, like
Now, my question/issues are....
1. Which IP addresses should I use for ns1.mycompany.com and ns2.mycompany.com? I mean shall I use A, B or X, Y?
2. I heard that setting up DNS servers on my own box will consume lot of resources of my box. So, I prefer not to have my own DNS server.
3. How do I use wildcard domain names? For example, I want to point "anything.mycompany.com" to " At my current hosting company, they are supporting this feature - so our web applications are developed to use these features.
Thanks a lot in advance for your valuable time.
