When i tried to used my public ip 203.124.21.60 as nameserver for my domain <a href="http://csmanipur.co.in">csmanipur.co.in</a> i get the following error message "Name Server does not Resolve" My configuration is given below: my /etc/name.conf options { listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1;203.124.12.60;any; }; directory "/var/named"; dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt"; memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt"; allow-query { localhost; any;}; recursion yes; }; logging { channel default_debug { file "data/named.run"; severity dynamic; }; }; zone "21.124.203.IN-ADDR.ARPA."

Tell me, how do i use <a href="http://ns1.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns1.csmanipur.co.in</a> and > <a href="http://ns2.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns2.csmanipur.co.in</a> as nameservers for my domain <a href="http://csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">csmanipur.co.in</a> </div>I think what you are trying to say is that you want to remove the <a href="http://ns3.zonedit.com" target="_blank">ns3.zonedit.com</a> and <a href="http://ns8.zoneedit.com" target="_blank">ns8.zoneedit.com</a> from you domain record and add <a href="http://ns1.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns1.csmanipur.co.in</a> and <a href="http://ns2.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns2.csmanipur.co.in</a> instead. I believe that this is impossible to do. You can try to understand it this way: 1) The <a href="http://csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">csmanipur.co.in</a> domain can be resolve only if there is a record in some nameserver 2) If you remove the <a href="http://ns3.zonedit.com" target="_blank">ns3.zonedit.com</a> and <a href="http://ns8.zoneedit.com" target="_blank">ns8.zoneedit.com</a> then your domain, <a href="http://csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">csmanipur.co.in</a> cannot be resolved 3) If <a href="http://csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">csmanipur.co.in</a> cannot be resolved then <a href="http://ns1.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns1.csmanipur.co.in</a> will also not be resolved 4) If <a href="http://ns1.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns1.csmanipur.co.in</a> cannot be resolved then <a href="http://csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">csmanipur.co.in</a> will will also not be resolved whose record is contained in <a href="http://ns1.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns1.csmanipur.co.in</a>. This brings us back to point 3 and is a cycle thereafter. I hope you understand the problem. Instead of using <a href="http://ns1.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns1.csmanipur.co.in</a>, you can use your public IP instead of <a href="http://ns1.csmanipur.co.in" target="_blank">ns1.csmanipur.co.in</a> as the nameserver address. But it would be better if you leave the zoneedit nameservers as they are. Hope I have been able to help.
