Server 1 is the web server.
Server 2 is the MiaB email server.
You have two options for properly setting up DNS.
Option 1 - allow Mail-in-a-Box to handle DNS:
— At domain registrar, create the ‘glue records’ for ns1.box.yourdomain.tld and ns2.box.yourdomain.tld both pointed to the IP address of server 2.
— Install MiaB
— On the ‘Custom DNS’ page of the admin area add the A records for the root domain (yourdomain.tld) and, if applicable, the subdomain (www.yourdomain.tld) pointing to the IP address of server 1.
— As protection against a ‘single point of failure’ configure a secondary DNS provider as explained in this guide:
Option 2 - have DNS handled externally:
— Decide who will handle DNS, whether it be the registrar, Digital Ocean, or some third party provider.
— At domain registrar, point the name servers to the assigned name servers given to you by your DNS provider.
— Install MiaB.
— On the ‘Custom DNS’ page of the admin area add the A records for the root domain (yourdomain.tld) and, if applicable, the subdomain (www.yourdomain.tld) pointing to the IP address of server 1.
— Copy ALL of the records marked as required and optionally those marked as optional to the chosen DNS provider.
