Resolved Adding also-notify in DNS (bind)

[H.W.B]

Hello,

I have a question on how i can put the also-notify to every domain in de DNS (bind).
The slave DNS hosters what this, but i can't set this up in plesk.

Only the ACL allow Transfer Domains, but not the also-notify.

I there a way to get this??

Thank you

Henk

Hi H.W.B,

you have to edit your "named.conf" manually, by adding in the OPTIONS section:

notify yes;
also-notify { XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX; YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY.; ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ; };

You may add as many IPs as you wish here, which should be notified in case of changes.

Is this within the part where there is this above :
// -- THE FOLLOWING LINES WERE GENERATED BY PLESK. IF YOU MODIFY THEM, THEY WILL BE OVERWRITTEN WHEN THESE SETTINGS ARE MANAGED IN PLESK UI. --
options {

Hi H.W.B,

you just found "/etc/named.conf" which is NOT the only bind - configuration file on your server. Pls. use the "locate" command, because the configuration files - locations can vary on CentOS/RHEL and Debian/Ubuntu - based systems. Due to the case that you didn't specify your operating system, I could only give you the config - file name, but no location.

On Debina/Ubuntu - operating systems for example, the bind9 configuration file at "/etc/bind/named.conf" includes

...

include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

... so you would add own OPTIONS - specifications either at "/etc/bind/named.conf.options", or in an additional, file, which you specify and include in "/etc/bind/named.conf".


Example for YOUR OWN SPECIFIC ADDITIONAL OPTIONS - CONFIGURATION:

Add file "MY_OWN_OPTIONS_SPECIFICATIONS.CONF" at "/etc/bind/"
Content:

options {
  
notify yes;
also-notify { XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX; YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY.; ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZZ; };

};

Include at "/etc/bind/named.conf" below "include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";" with the given example:

...
include "/etc/bind/MY_OWN_OPTIONS_SPECIFICATIONS.CONF";

Restart bind, so that your changes will apply.

Hello,
I have same problem, I would like to add some custom options(also notify and allow dyndns updates) but my plesk is denying it because plesk is writing own options and I can't include my own then. Any solution for this?

thanks a lot!

Hi Toni Ruotsalainen,

in your case, the "options" are already redifined at for example inside "/etc/bind/named.conf.options". If this is the case, then you have to edit this config, in order to avoid issues/problems/failures.
Pls. note again, that Debian/Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS - based systems have different configurations. To help you with your modifications it is essential, that you INCLUDE all depending configuration files, because people willing to help you can't guess them.

 

[Toni Ruotsalainen]

Thanks a lot for your reply, I don't have any included configuration files, plesk is writing it straight to named.conf and that's why cannot add my own included options.

// -- THE FOLLOWING LINES WERE GENERATED BY PLESK. IF YOU MODIFY THEM, THEY WILL BE OVERWRITTEN WHEN THESE SETTINGS ARE MANAGED IN PLESK UI. --
options {
allow-recursion {
localhost;
};
listen-on-v6 { any; };
version "none";
directory "/var";
auth-nxdomain no;
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
};

locate named
/etc/named
/etc/named.conf
/etc/named.conf.saved_by_psa
/etc/named.iscdlv.key
/etc/named.rfc1912.zones
/etc/named.root.key


Is there in plesk any possibilities to includes options? because I think Plesk is overwriting them anyway?

 

[UFHH01]

Hi Toni Ruotsalainen,

consider to add your own modifications/options directly at "/etc/named.conf" INSIDE the "options" - settings and pls. check, if Plesk will overwrite your modifications.

 

[Toni Ruotsalainen]

Hi, thanks a lot, this was really helpful, I got working also-notify. But always some problems

options {
allow-recursion {
localhost;
};
listen-on-v6 { any; };
version "none";
directory "/var";
auth-nxdomain no;
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
notify yes;
also-notify { 10.75.6.135 port 8054; };
allow-update {
10.75.6.135;
};
};

I wanna do also dyndns updates from slave, so I allowed update from slave. I managed to do dyndns update and I can see updates by dig commands on Plesk.
dig @10.75.6.249 dyndns.10plesk.tes A

; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-25.P1.el5_11.8 <<>> @10.75.6.249 dyndns.10plesk.tes A

But UI on Plesk is then somehow broken, it's showing an old record still and reboots didn't help either.
dyndns.10plesk.tes. A 30.30.30.10

Any advise for this?
thank you again,

Hello UFHH01.
After a recent restart of my server, i had a problem, that BIND was not starting.
When i checked i found that the solution as you mentioned was the problem.
When i disabled the include to the MY_OWN_OPTIONS_SPECIFICATIONS.CONF"n the problem was gone.
Can you help me with checking my named.conf adn MY_OWN_OPTIONS_SPECIFICATIONS.CONF" to see where there is a problem.

Thank you

Henk
