"Phantom" nameserver issue - cPanel
| Posted by myuserid, 10-13-2013, 07:37 AM | | Hello,
I have an odd issue with DNS on my private server.
My nameservers are ns80.mydomain.com and ns81.mydomain.com - but I have noticed two other nameservers ns60.mydomain.com and ns61.mydomain.com (both have no IP's assigned).
There seem to be a few websites using these nameservers although I configured the domains manually rather than using the ns80 nameservers (split web and mail).
I tried changing the nameservers for these domains anyway but they keep showing up as ns60 and ns61. I have even terminated the account and checked the overwrite existing DNS zones when creating a new account, but they still show up as using ns60. and ns61.
The ns60 nameservers cannot be deleted either as they dont show up when in the "delete dns zone".
I have attached a couple screenshots.

| Posted by myuserid, 10-13-2013, 08:21 AM | | Thanks, so how often does it update and why does cPanel keep placing those domains back into ns60 and ns61 rather than ns80 and ns81 ?
When I terminate the account it removes the domain from that list - but when I recreate the account, it ends back up in ns60 and 61.
The domains are using the correct ns80. nameservers. I have no idea where ns60 and 61 have come from!
