• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Change Default DNS Service

DavidMCR

New Pleskian
Hello.

I am looking to change the default DNS service from BIND to MS DNS.

I understand from what I've read in posts that the process "should" be automatic. MS DNS is installed on the server in a stopped state and the service is currently set to Manual start. I understand that Plesk "should" disable BIND, start MS DNS and then transfer the domain DNS records across (or something similar anyway) which is all good.

However when in Tools & Settings>Server Components>Select default DNS Server component and I select MS DNS a warning appears:

Warning: only the first 254 IP addresses of subnets with /8 and /16 masks located in the Access Control List will be transferred. They will be transferred as separate IP addresses. Do you wish to continue?

What does this actually mean in plain simple English? Do I need to be concerned about it?

Regards, David.
 
BIND allow to specify network at transfer restriction (Tools & Settings->DNS Template->Transer restriction template), but MS DNS - only IP. That is why we divide network to several separeted IP's.
