Hi:
I'm moving from an old CPanel to a new CPanel server.
I have set up new nameservers. ns1.newserver.com, ns2.newserver.com
I have updated dns zone entries (on the old server) to point at the NEW nameservers. ns1.newserver.com ns2.newserver.com (note the new domain name, too)
I have updated all domains at the registrar where I have been able and notified all others about the need to change nameservers.
There is no doubt that some will ignore the message and simply stop resolving when I take the old server offline.
I would like to add the old nameservers to the new box. Of course, CPanel doesn't want me to right now because they're pointing at the old box.
Here's my plan, please tear apart or add as desired....
1. Change the IP addresses of the old nameserver to point to NEW IP's at the NEW server
2. Edit /etc/nameserverips as follows
111.111.111.111=ns1.newserver.com
222.222.222.222=ns2.newserver.com
333.333.333.333=ns1.oldserver.com
444.444.444.444=ns2.oldserver.com
3. edit the newserver.com zone record.
add new NS records
newserver.com. NS ns3.oldserver.com.
newserver.com. NS ns4.oldserver.com.
(or would these NS records go in the oldserver.com zone?)
Can anyone think of anythng else???? Or a way to test?
Thanks,
B
