Add a slave dns server

[Michael Andrews]

We have a secondary server that I want to host dns on. It doesn't have plesk. Is there any way that I can tell plesk to add dns to two servers? I.e. 10.1.1.5 and 10.1.1.6 (their internal ips).

No offense, but I wouldn't have posted on here if I could have been able to find some instructions on what I'm trying to do in your user guide. There's nothing that I can find in there about how to set up plesk to push out it's dns entries to two different servers. The second not having plesk installed. Is this possible?

 

[Michael Andrews]

Any thoughts on this. I really need this set up.

If you purchase 2 licenses of SimpleDNS Plus it has a "Super Master/Slave" configuration that accomplishes this. The second server will automatically hold any domains that appear on the master. Any other way would involve crontab and scripts. This isn't a cheap solution but it works and is worth the time it saves.

Well this is windows so we don't have CRON. I guess I'll have to write some batch files and schedule them. I really can't believe that plesk has no way to push out dns to a secondary server. Maybe I should have stuck with hosting controller.
