Same domain and nameservers, two servers
| Posted by Tarki, 08-02-2009, 08:33 AM |
| Hi there.
I've searched google and WHT about this but I couldn't find anything matching my situation. Apologies if I overlooked something.
Here's my situation:
I have two VPS packages.
Both are running exactly the same stuff - Centos 5.3, cPanel/WHM, etc
One domain (example.com), already pointing to first server (server1)
Nameservers (ns1 & ns2.example.com) are set up in WHM of server1.
I then bought a second VPS (server2). I want to be able to set up subdomains of my main domain (sub.example.com) on the second VPS. I also want my existing nameservers to work for server2.
This way, I can provide subdomain packages to people and utilise both servers, and I can also provide the same nameservers to people regardless of the server they are on.
I went to the clustering section of the WHM's, I enabled, and I can see server1 in the WHM of server2, and the other way around. I selected Sync Changes under DNS Role. However I don't think that's really done anything.
So what am I missing? How can I get this to work? Sorry if I've written it in a confusing manner .
Thanks for any help.

| So you want domain.com on server 1 and subdomain.domain.com on server 2 right ?

| Domain.com is a site hosted on server1. I want to be able to have subdomain.domain.com on both servers. See, I offer sub domain hosting, so I want to be able to use both servers.

| just create the account first then set up an a-record for for the subdomain on server1 and point it to where ever the account may be hosted.

| Well I'd rather it'd be automatic. I use WHMCS, so it would be a hassle to have to do it manually. Maybe it would be better to have different nameservers for each VPS. Thanks for the help though.

| then you'd need an external script that will do that for you because - WHMCS can definitely make the account with the subdomain but it won't be able to create the a-record for your main domain which will render the subdomain account useless.

| Alright I'll look into that, thanks!
