I’m using miab for dns and plan to keep it that way for the box. I have a second domain which I need to move to Cloudflare Registrar and DNS. I read the past posts on cloudflare and external dns. Before making any changes hoping to confirm I understand the steps correctly:

1. download the zone file for second domain from the box admin panel
2. delete the second domain dns settings in the box admin panel
3. import/manually enter the second domain’s dns settings into cloudflare
4. use cloudflare nameservers

Will using the cloudflare nameservers impact miab mail services for the second domain ?

That’s aboit it. You don’t need step 2. Withs step 4 you mean set them up at your domain registrar?  
This should work. Note that you might get remarks on your status panel.

Yes, using Cloudflare Domain Registrar to set cloudflare nameservers for second domain. Thank you so much for your help!
