Basic DNS setup question
Well, I got my account info for a 12$ plan...
I have changed the default DNS info of my registrar by ns1.textdrive.com and ns2.textdrive.com so it will point to my domain david-molliere.net.
Since it's the first time I have separate registrar/hosting, bear with me : do I also have to modify other fields ?
I can setup every parameters (here is the list)
.david-molliere.net MX 1 ORT Redirected .david-molliere.net A 213.186.33.5 (Do I have to change this IP to point to my TextDrive hosting i.e 67.18.181.69 ?)Also : www.david-molliere.net CNAME david-molliere.net ftp.david-molliere.net CNAME david-molliere.net ftp2.david-molliere.net CNAME anonymous.ftp.ovh.net mail.david-molliere.net CNAME ns0.ovh.net pop3.david-molliere.net CNAME ns0.ovh.net smtp.david-molliere.net CNAME ns0.ovh.net
... etc for news, cgi, webmail...
Do I have to change all these params ?
Thx

Other question : I changed the DNS param with my registrar for my second domain and then created a virtual server for km-fr.com in Webmin "Virtualmin Virtual Servers". Is that the right process ?

Re: Basic DNS setup question
I am not much of a network expert at all...
but I think I understand now, went in Webmin, Bind and viewed the info listed up there when I clicked on my domain chose "all" and there it was :-)
It seems to work fine when I type http://www.david-molliere.net
Nice :-))

Thx for the quick response Jason.
I don't regret choosing TextDrive so far : fast account creation, rapid response...
