Uh set your dns servers ip as the dns server and then it will check your dns server whenever your domain is called. (i did mine through namecheap and i had to go to a seperate little box to type in the ip of the nameserver to make it ns1. and ns2. first and then set those 2 up to be the nameservers) Not sure who your registrar is or your setup.

Provided "Dezuttere" is in fact a subdomain and not just and A record pointing to your server's IP, you would need access to update the "zone file" for the subdoimain dezuttere. For this you would need to contact whoever manages the "mine.ru" DNS server and ask them to either a.) delegate the management and hostsing of the "dezuttere" zone to you, or b.) allow you to access/edit the zone file remotely. This would allow you to manage things yourself, i.e., add records, subdomains, etc... If that's not possible, you'll need to work the the provider to add resources records for you (MX records, A records, CNAME, etc...)

Yes, you will either need to request they delegate control of the zone to you, or if denied, ask to be given the ability to edit the zone file on there servers (via ssh, or webmin, etc...).

In many cases this isn't an issue as DNS is designed to be a delegated service, with the flow of data moving from subdomain "dezuttere" -> domains "mine" -> top level domains ".ru" -> root servers ".". Given this architecture, you can't break/misconfigure zones higher up the tree (you only break your own subdomain).

Hope this helps

Thanks for the feedback
