Custom Nameservers instead of NSx.LINODE.COM
I am sorry if this is not the right topic. I tried to run a search before posting it but without success.
I am a Linode user and I'd like to use NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM instead of NS1.LINODE.COM
I'd like to know if I am doing ok, or something is bad.
I went to my Godaddy account and set a new Host for MYDOMAIN, for example, named it NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM and NS2.MYDOMAIN.COM
However, I wanted to know what are the IP address that I should specify when creating these new hosts in the Godaddy domain manager. I guess I should specify the same IPs used by NS1.LINODE.COM and NS2.LINODE.COM, but probably that aren't the right values, or yes?
Any suggestion in advance will be so much appreciated.
Thanks,
Julian

Using the IP addresses of nsx.linode.com should work, I think.
But. There's nothing wrong, weird, or inelegant about using Linode's name servers. It sounds like you're trying to hack together a solution to a non-problem which WILL be weird and inelegant, and possibly wrong, if the IPs of Linode's servers should change. And updating glue records isn't quick; they're not based on your TTLs at all. It takes days.
Short answer: don't do this.
