Generally, a setup of 3 servers would be delegated responsibilities, you can use 2 cheap VPS for DNS and 1 good one for webservices.

@Francisco: Hehehehe... I'll probably use them as extra redundant DNS boxes.

Steve Gibson is doing a cool series on this on Security Now, starting with IP and so far has covered ICMP, UDP, and TCP. I imagine next would be DNS and HTTP/S. ARP is also pretty critical, as is BG

Your IPv6 DNS address is 2001:05c0:1000:0011:0000:0000:0000:0002.

My company co-locate our servers and while we don't do hosting per say, we do programming and hosts our clients sites with all the works - email, dns, database, etc.

No DNS entry, how you think it will work? ¬¬

Host websites/dns/games severs, of course not!

Server 1 is for cheap shared hosting for a few people I know (using virtualmin), my personal website, DNS for all of my domains and an IRC server.

Node.js, DNS servers, backup servers

A few IRC servers, a pair of BNC servers, a pair of DNS servers, a pair of webservers (redundancy! (Image)

It was just a problem with dns is all :P

My 2 DNS boxes use around 20mb RAM, but since cPanel DNS only uses BIND you will need 192mb ram to run and 384mb to install on a OpenVZ VPS (unless it uses vswap, then you will need less).

I'm running a DNS+Webserver+Mailserver on a 128MB RAM VPS. So it should just work fine.

2) will 384MB be enough for a DNS Only server?

Check out the recent thread from James at Quality Servers, they have UK and US vps nodes and have also recently started offering specific DNS packages. www.qualityservers.co.uk

The idea is that I cannot host my DNS servers on a single location. If that location fails...my entire DNS will go down, which sucks.

or any dynamic reordering of an RRset on the DNS server, or a specifically round-robin-style reordering of the RRset, or using an RRset to allow for client-side failover, and many other things too, I
