Do you need separate elastic IP addresses for each nameserver - say NS1, NS2 - for an EC2 webserver?

    Your question is a bit confusing. What does a webserver have to do with anything? Are you asking if two nameservers can have the same public IP address? If they did, what would make them two nameservers exactly? – David Schwartz Jan 07 '21 at 01:23

You need nameservers for a domain not for an ec2 instance or for a webserver. I suggest you use a managed DNS service like AWS Route53 and don’t worry about running your own nameservers.

  • this doesn't exactly answer my question, since i have scripts on the EC2 server that automatically provisions new domains... – inac Jan 09 '21 at 01:37
  • You can just as easily script R53 domain provisioning with [`aws` cli](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) or with [`dnscontrol`](https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol). – MLu Jan 09 '21 at 07:40
