Completing NameServer Setup

Hi Guys,

I’m currently setting up my NameServers with Cloudflare.
It gives me 2 NameServers associated with CDN, but I have 3.
So, my question is: Do I just use 1 of the NameServers twice? Does that matter?

example:

What I have now:
ns1.nameserver
ns2.nameserver
ns3.nameserver

What Cloudflare gives:
new.ns1.nameserver.
new.ns2.nameserver.

See my confusion?

Hi @gregory1,

Delete all the old nameservers and add only the two new ones provided by Cloudflare.

So, if I reduce to 2 name servers, it has no effect on any other variables in terms of traffic/load-balancing, or any of my existing DNS/Infrastructure ?

Right ?

There’s nothing to worry about.

Just make the change as proposed by Cloudflare and everything will be fine.

Yes. All your traffic will route through Cloudflare.
