DNS setup

This line appears in the welcome email, and I just don't understand:

To add new domains:
<snip>
5) In DNS, substitute the ns A record in the new domain for your nameservers IP.

I seem to have everything else done, but could you explain this please? I see the IPs listed in the A records, which must still be HostNexus', because it's different than the IP for my main account.

The domain I'm setting up is name based.

Also, whatever it is that I'll be substituting "in" (the ns A record in the new domain) - do I do this for both the domain name and the webmail, since they're both A records?

This is totally new to me, if you haven't already guessed

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for pointing that out. Not sure where that came from and is not really needed.

When seeting up a namebased domain you only need substitute the NS records. That errant instruction has been removed from the welcome email....

Glad to hear it Laurence! Now I can get on to all the other stuff that confuses me....
