NameServers

[LindyTaylor]

Hello, everyone.
Do I need two physical servers to set up two separate IP nameservers on a server?
I ordered a VPS with an extra IP (which I intended to use for the second nameserver), but I'm not sure if it'll work.

Hi,
If you have a Backup and recovery IP connecting to another server or are using load balancers, there is no reason to have two IPs pointing to the same server, in my opinion.
However, I'd like to hear from more experts on this

Yes you can use the additional IP for your second nameserver

Yes, technically, but the only advantage is if one IP (but not the other) becomes unavailable for some strange reason. In all other circumstances, the behavior will be the same as if there were only one IP.
