I'll be offering my clients hosting accounts in the UK or US I have set child name servers at the registry as: ns1.mydomain.co.uk ns2.mydomain.co.uk ns3.mydomain.co.uk ns4.mydomain.co.uk ns1/2 are pointing at my US server ns3/4 are pointing at my UK server The problem is with my domain.co.uk website I have the master domain.co.uk on my US server with the domain pointing at ns1/2. A ping, for some reason, is resolving the domain at my UK server ns3/4 I guess the problem is in the DNS settings on the UK server, basically the domain.co.uk on UK server is redundant and only used for clients to point their domains at. Can someone explain this, thanks

Without more information it's difficult to say. How is your DNS configured exactly? Are they all clustered? Can you give us some more idea on your infrastructure?

From the limited information provided, it appears that your added a zone for domain.co.uk to the ns3.mydomain.co.uk and ns4.mydomain.co.uk name servers with a different IP address. If that is the case, and you queried the name servers, there is a possibility that the information got cached. You may want to try a ping using an external source to isolate the problem.

Thanks for your replies. It seems domain.co.uk resolves to the the intended ns1/2 server, but xxxx.domain.co.uk resolves to the ns3/4 server eg. www,ftp,webdisk,whm etc. No the servers are not clustered and I have configured how avelinux mentioned. update: I've just run a ipconfig /flushdns and all seems fine now, even so, have I completed the correct procedure regarding setting up the servers, could I add another server with same domain and create ns5/6 nameservers?
