Alright, I am trying really hard to setup my own nameservers, so that every domain on my server can use those. I am following these directions: http://forum.rackshack.net/showthread.php?...ameserver+plesk
But I am very confused. icon_smile.gif I got the nameservers setup at my registrar, and I think I have the records added correctly. But where do I go to setup the DNS template?

if you click the "server" tab at the top you will see on that page a button marked DNS. When you click that you can then edit the DNS template that plesk uses when it creates a new domain.

Note this is in plesk 6. I think plesk 5 worked the same way.

Its important to note though, that doing it this way will have the authoritative nameservers for each domain pointing to the same names on a single domain.

The authoritative name servers for domains a, b and c will all be ns.a.com and ns2.a.com.

This will work fine but some people prefer their name server records to always be within their own domains. In that case, you'll want to leave the template as it is and leave it to the domain user to point their registrar to their own aliased name servers. There is no performance difference with either solution. The server is still running a single DNS server. One way it goes by two names. The other way it goes by many many more names.
