| Post subject: | CNAME to Linode DNS's ? |
Hello So I have mydomain.com and a.mydomain.com / b.mydomain.com as nameservers that my clients use as their nameservers. Well I switched to Linode and I want to take advantage of Linodes DNS's so my question is: - I point mydomain.com to Linode DNS's - I set a.mydomain.com CNAME to ns1.linode.com - I set b.mydomain.com CNAME to ns2.linode.com - I add my clinets domains in Linode DNS manager Will something like this work ? Thank you |

You can't point an NS record at a CNAME. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record#Restrictions |

Use A records pointing to the ns.linode.com IP addresses if you want to do that. THEN you have to register these as nameservers with your registrar. |

That would work, up until Linode changes their name server IPs. (Which doesn't happen frequently, but could.) Ideally you would tell your clients to use ns1-5.linode.com. |
