The search domain should be your upstream ISP's domain name since 
they provide you with DNS.

The IP number for your machine ("nwlink.com") should go into the IP 
address field of TCP/IP control panel.

The primary and secondary DNS IP addresses, as provided by your ISP, 
should go into the DNS section of the TCP/IP control panel.

It's going to be served by the server, but nwlink.com domain doesn't 
really have anything to do with it, it just happens to also be a 
domain that is being served from the same hardware.

Where are you talking about entering this? If your upstream ISP has 
made the DNS entries (and it looks like they have), the only place 
you need to enter info is into the virtual host table.

In the virtual host table.

No.

No.

No.

But you do have to have two if you want to run both OT and Tenon's 
stack at the same time.  But you don't need to do this.

It is recommended that you replace OT with Tenon's stack for 
performance reasons, but that may not work for you depending on what 
other applications you run on the same machine.
