One ip for both nameserver
| Posted by Ancient CPU, 08-29-2007, 01:45 PM | | My new host give me 1 ip to register for both (ns1 & ns2) nameserver. Is that correct ?
Ex-host always gave me 2 ip's.

I would ask them to give you two, it's really the basic standard for name servers...

Ok I agree, If the registrar does not accept it, we will be forced to use two IPs.

As someone else mentioned you may be able to get by with one IP for both NS but I would imagine you will run into some issues down the road depending on what type of domains you host.
Many overseas registrants have very strict requirements, some will not even allow you to host NS on the same subnets.
