Once that’s done, you will need to create A records for your new child nameservers. For that, follow this procedure:

  1. Copy your child nameserver IP or IPs (if you used different ones)

  2. Create new A records for each different IP child nameserver used:

NS 1 record

NS 2 record

NS 3 record (optional)

NS 4 record (optional)

Name: ns1

Points to: your child nameserver IP

TTL: Default
