What is a glue domain?


If your name server is in the same zone as your domain it is called a Glue Domain.
A glue record is an A record that specifies the address of the server.

For example, if the name server (DNS) for domain-of-your-choice.com was
ns.domain-of-your-choice.com then the NS record would look like this, but you will
also need to have the following A record. 
domain-of-your-choice.com  IN    NS     ns.domain-of-your-choice.com 

ns.domain-of-your-choice.com    IN    A      217.160.226.82

To do this, please create a subdomain "ns.domain-of-your-choice.com" and assign an
IP Address to it. Once the IP Address has propagated you can assign
"ns.domain-of-your-choice.com" as the DNS for your domain
"domain-of-your-choice.com".

Your domain should have a minimum of 2 name servers.
