DNS Issues

[Stepster]

Until recently I've not been using Panel to manage my DNS as it hasn't supported Simple DNS. But with the latest update I see it's now supported again. Great news!

But I'm having a problem.

My Plesk Panel setup runs in a NAT environment (in an Amazon VPC), so all of my machine IPs are local.

So far, not a problem. But when I go to 'DNS Settings' and try to create a 'Zones Setting Template' I need to put in external IPs for my 'A' records. Whenever I try to do this, it fails with the following warning message:

"Warning: Incorrect DNS record values were specified."

Surely I'm not limited to only being able to enter DNS records for IPs assigned to this one local machine??

What am I doing wrong? Please can someone help me.

Nothing?

Am I doing something wrong? Am I trying something that's not possible (surely not!). Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have the similar problem running Plesk 11 over EC2. I made a custom template based on the default settings with the additional NAT support.

The template will translate all public IPs into private IPs ones so that servers behind NAT can use public IPs which gets translated to private IPs when private IPs are required.
