What do you mean? Nothing you said makes sense.

Hello, I mean,

So for instance a dns system i add a servers ip to, so for instance if i have 50 servers and i had 2 main nameservers ns1 and ns2 so when someone creates a account onto a cpanel server with the ns1 and ns2 nameservers it would then point that domain to that server.

[mmuyskens]

dns is ran on two servers, ns1 and ns2. you would have a primary A record for each domain that will point to the correct server.

[Sandino]

Well if im correct, you would just need an IP Range of 50 ip's.
Then just setup the name servers to 2 of the ip's, and then it should point to the server (if you use cpanel and such, or w/e softare it already includes things to set it up for you) you shouldn't have to set anything up manually. Like the guy above said it can be some with A records, but the software can just do it for you.

Sometimes host's cannot just use ns1 and ns2 for multiple servers, sometimes you need to use more like ns3 snd ns4, etc.

Thanks that is wat i needed to know,

I didin't know you can have multi ips on each servers nameservers

[desiboy]

basically name servers maps a domain to a server which holds/has all other records Like A, Mx, SOA, etc..of the domain..
so mainly you create the nameservers and ask all your clients to use them , so that you can just "A" name and point it to an Ip..

not sure if it was said not reading it. if u point 2 or more ips to the same domain it will go to both, switch between them all, just like if u go to irc.efnet.net irc.efnet.net will map to alot of servers
