ns?.mydomain.com

| you can create the account as subdomains on the other servers and then just add an entry to your DNS zone poiting those subdomains to the new IPs.

| One caveat to this:
If you expect mail to be delivered to these subdomains on the remote servers, you may need to add them to /et/remotedomains and remove any entries from /etc/localdomains if they exist on the server holding the zone for "domain.com".
From your description, it sounds like you're creating hostnames using this domain? If so, add not only the subdomain to the local DNS, but also the nameserver IPs. I'd also suggest (though maybe unnecessary) duplicating these on each of the servers being used.

| If the hosting companies you use are familiar with these types of things they will also be able to help you out in setting these things up on your account. But Bear's advice will work as well.

| Hi
Iam a reseller and have one (reseller) plain (with small free space for me to host my site on) on one server but as it has been slow over the last week,
thats why I was going to go with 4 x (reseller) plain over 4 x servers
each server has small space for me to host my sites on so
1, will be my web site
2, will be my support site (which is linked to my web sit as inframe)
3, will be my Domainsales site (which is linked to my web sit as inframe)
4, will be my cms site (which is linked to my web sit as inframe)
and all the space that i pay for on these servers I resell?

| Where do you host your mydomain.com.
Do they not have an addon service (dns server)
I am doing exact what you like to have in my directi reseller account.

| It's not really a big deal (Unless your host don't manage the server)
You can open a support ticket to request custom dns entry for your domain.
