I own "xxx".com and want to test BOA on it - w/ Chive etc. subdirectories - ordered a VPS with hostname of "test.xxx".com & got confirmation from VPS host of:
ServerName: "test.xxx".com
IP Address: "1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5"
Currently, "xxx".com is hosted at "myhost".com - with full DNS control
Registrar is GoDaddy with limited DNS control - "Set Nameservers" & "Host Summary (add)" - I created hosts perhaps in error? (but haven't changed nameservers) of:
NS1.xxx.com = Host IP 1: 1.2.3.4
NS2.xxx.com = Host IP 1: 1.2.3.5 (will these work or should I undo them?)
I want to end up with:
1 - "xxx".com as main site, on my VPS (probably under BOA)
2 - email handled through either my registrar or Google Apps (either free)
3 - all my hosting clients sites Nameservers pointing to my custom nameservers
DNS control @ "myhost".com reveals following records:
Primary DNS Server: dns5."myhost".com
Secondary DNS Server: dns6."myhost".com

? - what DNS records do I need to edit/add/delete PRIOR TO my BOA install @ "test.xxx"?
? - is there a proper ORDER, and do I need to wait for propigation after any/each change?
? - what (then) do I need to edit in Barracuda.sh script regarding DNS prior to running it?
Thanks in advance.
