How to configure two servers Plesk 11.5 to work as primary and secondary namservers?

[DraghiciM]

Hi!

I need help to configure to servers running Plesk Panel 11.5 (Linux CentOS 6.5) to work as primary and secondary nameserver.

We have our primary ns1.ourdomain.com and the secondary nameserver ns2.ourdomain.com.

1. On ns1.ourdomain.com host we have created in DNS Zone Template the records for the both nameservers:

<domain>. NS ns1.ourdomain.com.
<domain>. NS ns2.ourdomain.com.

2. On DNS Zone Template -> Transfer Restrictions Template we have added our secondary nameservers ip address.

A. How we run the sync?
B. How do we check if the sync is completed or correct?

Thank you in advance!

You don't need Plesk on slave DNS server. Only BIND required.

1) Install extension in Plesk https://autoinstall.plesk.com/extensions/packages/slave-dns-manager-1.0-1.zip
2) Read extension help page. You will see common steps how to setup BIND on slave server.
3) Add your slave server on main extension's screen.
4) Create domain or sync DNS zone with template in case if exists domain
5) Check BIND log on slave server to make sure zone created and RR transferred without error.

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

We've been looking for something like this for years.
So far we did something similar with the plesk event manager and a custom script. But this is way more elegant.

Thanks!
