I have tried to set up my DNS using the instructions from Ladyhawk in this forum. I am a little confused and having problems. I have 3 IP's. With my server I was given a gateway and an IP address. I requested 2 additional IP's and made them the IP addresses for my nameservers. In my DNS records under the server I have the following:
. NS ns1. mydomain. com
. NS ns2. mydomain. com
. A 66. xx. xxx. x5 (this is my primary IP)
mail. . A 66. xx. xxx. x5
webmail. . A 66. xx. xxx. x5
ns. . A 66. xx. xxx. x5
ns. . A 66. xx. xxx. xx8
ns. . A 66. xx. xxx. xx9
ftp. . CNAME mydomain. com.
mail. . MX 10 mail. mydomain. com.
66. xx. xxx. x5/24 PTR mydomain. com

I realize I probably have too many A records, but this is the only combination I could get to work on my own, since my problem is unsupported because I am using my own nameservers and not EV1's.
By adding the two additional A records for the two additional IP's, I was at least able to get my main domain to come up instead of just the default Plesk page. Prior to adding those two records all I was getting was the default Plesk page. Now that I have used this template on my other domains, whenever I bring up my other domains, I get my mydomain.com instead of the site I am trying to bring up. All files have been ftp'd to the individual ftp accounts/domains, and I can see them from File Manager in the PSA, but I still get mydomain.com. Any help would be appreciated.

Using your example, make it look like this for the domain which is set up to function as your Nameservers (note that most of these are already correct)

. NS ns1. mydomain. com
. NS ns2. mydomain. com
. A 66. xx. xxx. x5
mail. . A 66. xx. xxx. x5
webmail. . A 66. xx. xxx. x5
ns1. . A 66. xx. xxx. xx8
ns2. . A 66. xx. xxx. xx9
ftp. . CNAME mydomain. com.
. MX 10 mail. mydomain. com.
66. xx. xxx. x5/24 PTR mydomain. com

For the rest of the domains which will be pointed at your Nameserver you won't need all of that. So your new domain template can be set up as:

. NS ns1. mydomain. com
. NS ns2. mydomain. com
. A
mail. . A 66. xx. xxx. x5
webmail. . A 66. xx. xxx. x5
ftp. . CNAME .
. MX 10 mail. .
/24 PTR .

Also, make sure the Registrar of your domain name has the NS1 and NS2 pointing to those two IP numbers.
