Hi,
I have a question regarding configuration as I think I’m trying to do this back to front as new to this. I’ve got two VPS servers with IONOS where both are running on the latest Ubuntu and Plesk Obsidian.
After they’ve done that, I will create theirdomain.co.uk on VPS1 and create a website for them, but not give any access apart from mail.
I’m using IONOS also as the domain registrar for mydomain.co.uk, which requires you to have 2 separate VPS’s to be able to use custom name servers, so have entered both IP addresses as glue records with ns1.mydomain.co.uk with VPS2 IP and ns2.mydomain.co.uk with VPS1 IP. If using custom name servers with IONOS, you cannot add any more records thereafter.
What I’ve tried so far is setting up VPS2 as a master DNS Server, and VPS1 as slave (though not working yet)
On VPS1(Slave) I’ve entered the IP address of the VPS2 under Tools & Settings -> DNS Settings -> “Zone Transfer Restrictions” to the IP of VPS2(Master), and on theirdomain.co.uk switched to “SLAVE” and entered the primary DNS IP which is the IP of VPS2.
How can I get this to work, what’s the best way to do this and have I got this setup the wrong way around? As surely I’d need to create the domains on the VPS2 first, but the downside would be it also allocates webspace, ftp accounts and stuff I don’t want etc, it should just need DNS records only.
Help very much appreciated
Many thanks in advance!
