DNS Recursion: allow specific IP range

[tedocweb]

For obvious reasons I have set DNS Recursion to Localnets only.

However, I need to allow my network (different from the network of the Plesk server) to have recursion available.
Plesk Panel does not allow me to add my IP or IP-range.
How can I fix this permanently?

You can manually edit named.conf
Making modifications to the non domain-specific part of the configuration is mostly safe from unexpected modification by Plesk.

Extract:

acl "trusted" {     111.222.333.444/24;     444.333.222.0/24;     localhost;     localnets; };  
options { allow-recursion { trusted; }; };

But obviously you cannot 100% rely on this never being modified. It is still very unlikely to be modified unless you change the recursion setting within Plesk itself.

I have just manually added my network IP-range to the allow-recursion section and restarted named: success.

Indeed, after altering the DNS Recursion settings in Plesk Panel, my setting is gone.
So no touching that button anymore.

Thanks.
Fixed my issue.
