<h3>Using a Secondary Nameserver</h3>
<h3>Using a secondary nameserver</h3>
<p>If your TLD requires you to have two separate nameservers, you can either set up <a href="#" onclick="return show_panel('external_dns')">external DNS</a> and ignore the DNS server on this box entirely, or use the DNS server on this box but add a secondary (aka &ldquo;slave&rdquo;) nameserver.</p>
<p>If you choose to use a seconday nameserver, you must find a seconday nameserver service provider. Your domain name registrar or virtual cloud provider may provide this service for you. Once you set up the seconday nameserver service, enter the hostname (not the IP address) of <em>their</em> secondary nameserver in the box below.</p>
