  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    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. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

DNS Different Servers for Mail and Web

Hi all,

Having a real spot of bother here, I'm new to DNS and it's rather confusing.

I would like to host email and webmail on my server (Server1) but redirect all web traffic to another server (Server 2).

This is what I have changed the DNS records to, as per below:

Server1 IP Addres PTR domain.com
domain.com. MX (10) mail.domain.com.
domain.com. NS ns.domain.com.
ftp.domain.com. CNAME domain.com.
lists.domain.com. CNAME domain.com.
mail.domain.com. A Server1 IP Address
ns.domain.com. A Server1 IP Address
webmail.domain.com. A Server1 IP Address
www.domain.com. A Server2 IP Address

I am not convinced it is working as when I do a DNS Checker Report (http://www.dnsreport.com/) it shows me Server1 IP Address for www record!? Any ideas would be muchly appreciated?

Many thanks for any help you can provide.. . .

Philippe
