SOA Authoritative Name Server help please

[golpemortal]

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?

You are correct in using ns1.mysite.com as your SOA.

Simply put, your SOA is the server that will resolve any and all domains you gave it jurisdiction over. He's the guy that says, 'Hey, user, you want to know about othersite.com? Let me know what host, and I'll tell you the IP because I've been given permission to do so'.

Hopefully that helps....
