hi I am Swedish a class Support Engineer
here at the aw Sydney office sometimes
customers ask me what are white label
name servers and how to configure them
in Amazon router k3 let us walk through
the steps to configure white label name
servers for my primary domain
mydomain.com I will then show you how to
use them for my other domain my domain
net let's first create a reusable
delegation set we need a Linux or a
Windows instance with the AWS CLI
installed for this example I am using a
Linux instance a reusable delegation set
can also be created using AWS SDKs at
the moment we don't have option in the
AWS management console for creating a
reusable delegation set to create a
reusable delegation set I'm using this
Amazon route 53 AWS CLI command
you
our reference is a unique string that
identifies the request and allows failed
requests to be retried without the risk
of executing the operation twice for
this command I will mention caller
reference as create reusable delegation
sit when I execute this command I will
have a set of four new name servers that
are part of the reusable delegation set
if you already have a hosted zone
created for the primary domain and want
to use the delegation set of that hosts
its own after usable set you can specify
the - - hosted zone ID option with the
primary domain hosted zone ID but in my
example I don't have a hosted zone for
my primary domain yet let me run this
command make a note of the four name
servers and the delegation set ID from
this output the next step is to create a
hosted zone for my primary domain
mydomain.com
specifying the reusable delegation set
not that a reusable dedication set
cannot be used for a private hosted zone
now let us create white label
nameservers use DIC or the nslookup
command to get the IP addresses of the
nameservers in the reusable delegation
set let me try
dig
for the first name server okay let me
try for all the name servers
I have now got the IP address for all
the four name servers make a note of all
these name IP addresses now I will log
into aeroblades management console and
then go to Amazon Cloud 53 console after
logging into a doublet management
console let us access the router
cryptically service go to hosted zone
you can see that hosted zone for
mydomain.com
has been created choose that hosted zone
and confirm that the name servers which
are shown here are the same as the
reusable delegation set name servers now
I need to create white label name
servers and replace the name servers for
my domain calm as NS 1 dot mydomain.com
NS 2 dot mydomain.com
and s3 dot mydomain.com and NS 4 dot
mydomain.com to accomplish this let's
first create 4 error code sets for white
label name servers choose creates record
set and type NS 1 in the name field for
type select a record which is already
there alias as know for TTL select 60
this will help to make the changes to
record set quickly in the value field
mention the IP address of the first
reusable delegation set name server
click on create to create the name
server record okay follow the same steps
to create a records for the other three
name servers
you
after all for a records are created let
us replace the accessing name server
values with the names of the white label
name servers also replace the name
server in the start of authority record
with one of the white label name servers
you
I have now replaced the nameservers let
me now replace the name server in the
SOA record
now let us go to the domain wave
register website where your domain is
hosted and specify the white label name
servers and IP addresses right now you
have the route 53 name servers here I am
going to replace that with the new name
server name
I have now replaced all route 53 dump
nameservers with the white label
nameservers now you can click on update
and this will update all your name
server names now let's see how to reuse
the white label name servers of the
primary domain for the other domains
login to a Linux instance or a Windows
instance using the AWS CLI for this
example I am using a Linux instance I
need to run the create hosted zone
command specifying the reusable
delegation set for a secondary domain
named my domain dot net I will run this
command with a caller reference
secondary domain okay this is now
created the hosted zone
let us now login back to the management
console navigate to hosted zones you can
now see that there is a my domain dot
net hoses zone created click on the
hosted zone and select the name server
records now the values are showing the
name servers of the reusable delegation
set change the values to the white label
name servers of the primary domain
after changing the name servers let us
now change the name server mentioned in
the SOA record
note that I do not have to create a
records again in this hosted zone
because the error codes are already in
the hosted zone of the primary domain
mydomain.com now you can go to the
domain register website and specify the
white label name servers and IP
addresses for my domain net in this way
you can reuse the white label name
servers of the primary domain for other
domains in your account this will help
you to manage your registered domains it
will also be useful if you need to
migrate multiple domains to a different
register thanks for watching and happy
