Hey all,

Sorry if this has been asked before... My registrar offers some free features (most important to me is e-mail forwarding) so I don't have to deal with setting up services on my Linode (such as postfix).

Using the Linode DNS Manager, is there a way to use my registrar's name server entries with my Linode? If so, how is this configured either on the Linode itself or the DNS Manager?

Thanks in advance.

Generally, if you're using stuff like email forwarding, you want to use their name servers, not the Linode one and the Linode DNS Manager. Then use their DNS manager to add additional records for VPS.

My understanding is that you would use either your registrar's name servers, or the Linode DNS manager.
