  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question DNS, "dig" doesn't display CNAME's

Simon123

Hi all,

Doing a dig on a domain hosted on our Plesk server doesn't show CNAME records, results below, the domain name has been mangled..

How do I get a dump of DNS including any CNAME's :)

That's normal. You can't use any to list every single record

Consider using an AXFR zone transfer query to do that. ANY isn't an active standard and may not be supported by every single NS (RFC 8482)
 
Hi John, thanks for the reply, bit of Googling gets me two possible commands.. these ran directly on the Plesk server..

[www] host -a -l oraboxtra.com. 1.2.3.4 (1.2.3.4 is internal IP of Plesk server)
Trying "oraboxtra.com"
Using domain server:
Name: 1.2.3.4
Address: 1.2.3.4#53
Aliases:
Host oraboxtra.com not found: 5(REFUSED)
Received 39 bytes from 1.2.3.4#53 in 4 ms
; Transfer failed.

[www] dig -t axfr oraboxtra.com
; <<>> DiG 9.11.4-P2-RedHat-9.11.4-26.P2.el7_9.5 <<>> -t axfr oraboxtra.com
;; global options: +cmd
; Transfer failed.

Any idea what I may be missing?
 
Did you specify your IP in the allow transfer section of your DNS server? AXFR needs to be specifically authorized to work.
