    1. link a domain to a dns service like zonomi.com

    2. create 2x a "A record" at the domain zone containing the IP of the server that hosts your Interworx panel

    3. Fill in those 2 A records at the 2 nameserver fields.

    i assume at your domain registrar you created two name servers both same ip,

    you then added the two name servers as the ns(s) for your yourdomain,

    you then created a zone file with the following NS info:

    yourdomain.com.    +140000    NS   ns1.yourdomain.com.
yourdomain.com.    +140000    NS   ns2.yourdomain.com.
ns1.yourdomain.com.    +140000    A   1.x.x.x
ns2.yourdomain.com.    +140000    A   1.x.x.x

    when you test your dns at:
    http://intodns.com/ or http://www.dnsinspect.com/
    you see this warning "All nameservers on the same network"
    No Work Around Fix For This, You Need To Get a Cheap VPS to Use as 2nd NS Server
    Best to buy 2 VPS and use them as DNS servers (vps's not in same datacenter)
    or
    Use a Free DNS Hosting Provider Like "zonomi.com"
    don't forget to add the name servers to your domain at your registrar.

    Don't do any of the following:
    Do not use your web server as your only dns server
    Do not use 2nd ip on same server as 2nd NS
    Do not use your home as 2nd dns (i did for a few months - not a good thing to do)
    Do not use your hosting provider as dns if all name servers are in the same datacenter

    Why:
    If the server fails, DNS lookups from either IP address will fail
    All your emails will fail "in and out" even if email is on another server
    All domains you are hosting and/or pointing to will fail
    Also if you are hosting for others, a client may sue you if your dns fails, the chances of that are remote
