Different nameserver IP's for my domain?

[HL1234]

Hello,
I'm using for "swdevil.de" zoneedit as a second nameserver.
For my domain "swdevil.de" I got into the Control Panel the info:

The following nameservers can be used with this domain:
dns1.zoneedit.com they have the IPs: 23.27.48.58
dns2.zoneedit.com 166.88.18.58​

With the change from zoneedit to dyndns the nameserver names has changed for my account, so I have to do some updates in my bind settings and by my registrar for this domain: 1st-housing.com.

On the other hand, I found there the information:

Please add the following IP addresses to your master nameserver ACL

64.68.198.91 == xfr0.zoneedit.com
64.68.198.183 == cp.zoneedit.com

In "bind" parlance:

zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "example.com.zone";
allow-transfer { 64.68.198.91/32; 64.68.198.183/32; };
also-notify { 64.68.198.91; 64.68.198.183/32; };
};​

So I'm confused what are the right nameserver names and / or why should I put different nameserver name, respectively their IPs, into the "named.conf" on my master nameserver?

I apologize if my English is not so good.

Hi Harald, you should delegate your domains at your domain's registry (registrar) to dns1.zoneedit.com and dns2.zoneedit.com - those will answer queries for your domains.

But if you are setting up an external master (you want zoneedit to slave from your third-party nameserver) then you add cp.zoneedit.com and xfr0, this is because it is a different group of servers that transfer zones into and out of the zoneedit system than are the ones that actually answer your DNS queries.
