  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

It appears in my plesk 8.1 DNS configuration that localhost and localhost.localdomain are not configured by default, and it seems that it would solve some problems (especially with horde logins) if it were.
Is there a good reason that the localhost zone files are not in the default named.conf in /var/named/run-root/etc/...
There are localhost.zone and localdomain.zone files in /var/named but not in /var/named/run-root/var/ where plesk updates zone files.

Thanks

localhost and localhost.localdomain
are not in named simply because this host address will not change, and instead of using named(bind) it is located in the hosts file located in /etc/ and this is checked before any other domains.
