ns1.MyNameServer.com resolves to: 60.60.60.60
ns2.MyNameServer.com resolves to: 60.60.60.60 (I know - pointless)
1) Confusing. Are you saying these two name server resolve to 60.60.60.60
or they resolve a client to 60.60.60.60?
2) Fine that you have set the ftp server to resolve from these name servers
but what about the clients that are going to use this dns server in your
tests?
3) What does this mean, not enough info (What is this server)?
4) no clue what you are doing
Lets make it simple (3, 4 and 5 are to confusing for me so remove and follow
below this may be what you siad but I don't follow)
Once GoDaddy has setup the resolution for you simply do an nslookup on a
client machine. If the dns name on the ftp server is the same as the
internal dns name then you will need to add a host record internally (On you
internal dns) to point to the ftp server. If you can't get this to work
obviously pinging won't work nor will anything else.
Also if you plan on exposing your external ip address why are you using a
fake ip address? If nothing else just change the first octet or two, the
number you chose is just one more confusion point.
