• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question DNS zones for subdomain vs. domain

dirk_s

New Pleskian
There are two ways to setup a subdomain with Plesk:
1) as a subdomain (SUB) of a TLD
2) as a separate "domain" (SUB.TLD) in addition to the related TLD

Both have advantages and disadvantages... (e.g. possibility to make use of alias is only available to a domain plus others)
How can I setup DNS correctly in Case 2)? I run my vServer as primary DNS and my registrar as secondary DNS. In case of 1) the secondary DNS Servers are reported as authoritative. In case of 2) I need to setup an additional zone file for the SUB.TLD at my registrar - as the DNS zones are separated on my vServer - one for TLD and one for SUB.TLD. Otherwise the secondary DNS servers are not reported as authoritative.

Goal: I would like to have one DNS zone file for the TLD, including(!) the related SUB.TLD DOMAIN DNS records. Is there anyway to achieve that with Plesk? That SUB.TLD doesn't create its own zone file, but updates TLD zone file instead?

Thanks for your help.
