Configuration questions

[Milleman]

I've managed to install ISPConfig 2 and make it work. I have questions regarding the DNS setup.

My actual scenario looks like following...

I have an server at a broadband operator company. This server, containing ISPConfig2, has the IP address (just example) '114.27.200.60'. I have registered two domain names of which one I want to use for the server itself and one that is to be a client. The intended server domain name (just example) is: 'myserverdomain.com'. The client domain name is: 'myclientdomain.com'.

I told the domain registrar, when ordering the domains, to point the DNS server IP (NS1 and NS2) to my server with the ISPConfig2 (114.27.200.60) for both domains. That is because I run my own DNS server with the ISPConfig2 setup.

My first question is...
Under 'DNS Manager' / 'DNS Entry' / 'Options'...
-What shall I enter in the fields 'Nameserver 1' and 'Nameserver 2'?

Shall I enter the IP address to the DNS server from my Service Provider (broadband company where the server is located) or shall I enter the IP address of my own DNS server (114.27.200.60)?


Second question:
-How do I use the "Slave DNS" under 'DNS Manager'?


Third question:
Do I need to have an external ISP provided DNS server to hold the DNS information for the domain name I want to use for the ISPConfig server itself (myserverdomain.com) or can it be handled by the DNS server that is used by ISPConfig2?


Sincerely,

Please see here for how to setup a dns server:

The setup is similar for all other providers as well.

Thanks!
That worked just fine!
