Yes, that will work. There is no requirement for any of the NSes for a zone to be part of that zone or, conversely, not part of that zone. Although if any of the NSes are in the zone, there should be glue records added at the level above. > namecheap support seems to suggest that the personal DNS authorative > nameservers > for 'mynew.org', must be in 'mynew.org', as in > > ns1.mynew.org > ns2.mynew.org > This is not a requirement from the DNS side. It's normal for providers to offer this -- vanity name servers are usually a selling point. Even so, if you can make ns1.mynew.org and ns2.mynew.org resolve to the A or AAAA addresses of your VMs, you should be good to go. named is going to work the same irrespective of whatever it thinks the hostname of your VM is, and that can be different to the name users look up in the DNS. Failing that, there are any number of other providers that will let you register a domain, and the vast majority of those certainly will let you specify your own nameservers. Cheers, Matthew
