authoritative name server - the name server delegated the responsibility to provide the correct DNS information for a domain.
So when you write “The additional domains should have the miab authoritative name servers set as authoritative, or as additional (name servers) in the records area?” I do not really know what you are referring to.
However, for any and all domains that you want MiaB to be the ‘authoritative name server’ for, you have to enter them as the name servers at the registrar.
It is only there so you can see which name servers you are assigned to. In GoDaddy’s case you cannot edit them. (Please note that this is a simplistic explanation as every ‘zone file’ lists the NS entries)
GoDaddy is the source of lots of problems for many people when it comes to DNS and Glue records. I would advise not using them as a registrar personally.
gosh, I think vultr’s cloud dns has this too. I will check namecheap, but not sure.
Do you know specifically which one does not do it that way? I’d like to know, because it seems like planned confusion…
That is one way to phrase it. The NS records do have to be present in a zone file, but normally you would not be able to edit them as they have to match your listed name servers.
If you edit them here you have to edit them at the registrar level, otherwise your DNS will not work.
I was about to put a disclaimer in my other comment that I hadn’t specifically had experience with Vultr, but you beat me to it.
Notice, that Vultr also has the subdomain box available to be edited. This would be used in advanced DNS configurations. So yes, you can edit the fields, but if you make an incorrect edit without other changes DNS will not work.
