SOA Authoritative Name Server help please

out of all server features, DNS is the hardest for me to grasp!!!!

My issue is on "Authoritative Name Server"

I got no problem when hosting my own site..but I got two more websites that I got to host on my server...

my main server is ns1.mysite.com this is what that I have on "Authoritative Name Server"
no if I host an other website with different domain name should I

use also otherwebsite.com as its own SOA with Authoritative Name Server OR

SOA record still using ns1.mysite.com as Authoritative Name Server for these new websites

am I right?
little imput please?

thanks guys?

A basic structure of an SOA record looks like:

Code:

@    IN    SOA    <primary-name-server>    <hostmaster-email> (

                    <serial-number>

                    <time-to-refresh>

                    <time-to-retry>

                    <time-to-expire>

                    <minimum-TTL> )

So you would declare the primary name server in the SOA for otherdomain.com. So in your case if the responsible name servers for otherdomain.com is ns1.mysite.com then that's what you need to add in the SOA for otherdomain.com
