This will help if you are server admin of linux server using WHM as control panel...

One of my resellers wanted 2 different IPs for his name servers. I googled about it, did not find proper info so finally I got it working with help of one my friends.

Here is the way to do it…
  • Make sure that you have 2 IP Addresses free
  • Go to EDIT A DNS Zone from DNS Functions in WHM
  • Select the site / username of the reseller
  • In that add 2 new entries, for example: ns1.resellerdomain.com A xx.xx.xx.xx & ns2.resellerdomain.com A xx.xx.xx.xx (replace xx.xx.xx.xx with your IP Address)
  • Confirm everything once, save those entries
  • Now click on Reseller Center from option Reseller
  • Click on Edit Privileges/Nameservers
  • Add those name servers in Primary and Secondary Nameserver box (Don’t click on Assign IP Address or Add and entry for this name server)
  • Click on Save

Since I have written this so the source will be my site only ;)

cheers
