Create slave reverse zone

[Bill Buhlman]

Hi,
We are an ISP and need to provide secondary (forward and reverse) for clients. I can make the forward slave zone but Plesk won't let me make a reverse zone. Is there a way to do this in Plesk or do I have to make it host OS?

Thanks,
Bill

Hello,

Although this Knowledge Base article refers to Plesk 8, it may help you a little:

Thanks Denis.
If I am understanding the KB correctly, this type of zone has to be created in the host OS because Plesk doesn't have a way to manage them. Is this your understanding as well?

Thanks,
Bill

Hello Bill,

Do you mean this:

In case if you wish to use non Plesk server as slave DNS, all DNS zones have to be created on the secondary DNS server in /etc/named.conf?

Yes, in this case DNS zones have to be created on the host OS of the non Plesk server. Plesk really does not have a way to manage them.
