Setup Primary and Secondary (Slave) DNS server in Plesk
Setup Primary and Secondary (Slave) DNS server in Plesk.
Setup should allow zone transfer for the secondary DNS server in Plesk.
To allow it, secondary DNS server’s IP should be listed in NS records for all zones on Plesk server or it should be added to Access Control List (ACL).
ACL is be managed on the Server->DNS Settings->Common ACL page in Plesk CP.
In case if you wish to use non Plesk server as slave DNS, all DNS zones have to be created on the secondary DNS server in /etc/named.conf (this file location may be differ depending on OS) with ’slave’ type, for example:
zone “serverbuddies.com” {
type slave;
file “serverbuddies.com.zone”;
masters { 192.168.0.1; };
};
type slave;
file “serverbuddies.com.zone”;
masters { 192.168.0.1; };
};
Restart named after that. Now slave DNS server will get zones information from Plesk (master DNS server).
