duplicate nameserver entry?


So I have my nameservers set via direct admin to ns1.hpturbo.com and ns2.hpturbo.com, but when I dig them, I get a strange result

Code:
; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 47346

hpturbo.com.		14400	IN	NS	ns1.hpturbo.com.hpturbo.com.
hpturbo.com.		14400	IN	NS	ns2.hpturbo.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:

ns1.hpturbo.com.hpturbo.com. What is that about? And how do I change it? I keep deleting ns1 out via direct admin and I keep getting the same strange error, so how do I manually edit this out?

You miss the trailing dot after ns1.hpturbo.com in the NS record, so bind adds the zone name after the hostname. The correct entry should be something like:
Code:
   NS	ns1.hpturbo.com.

Yeah I kind of figured that, but when I try to modify, I get

Code:
Error Writing Records

Details

Unable to save dns zone: named-checkzone returned:
loading "hpturbo.com" from "/var/named/hpturbo.com.db.temp" class "IN"
zone hpturbo.com/IN: NS 'ns1.hpturbo.com' has no address records (A or AAAA)
zone hpturbo.com/IN: not loaded due to errors.

So look up what an A record means then add one.
*Note compliance-wise one of the name servers should reside in a different network.

As stated above there is no A RR for ns1, so you need to add one, e.g:
Code:
ns1.hpturbo.com. A x.x.x.x
where x.x.x.x is the IP address of ns1.hpturbo.com
