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

How to setup Plesk for Reverse DNS, IPv6-subnet delegation to own nameserver?

Knarf

Basic Pleskian
I have a server at Strato. After an upgrade to Plesk 10.3.1, IPv6 works fine, which I am happy about.

At the Strato control panel I have a setting for DNS-Reverse. I can manually assign IPv6 addresses to domain names. This works and is fine for 1 domain but if you want lets say add 100 IPv6 addresses and domain names this is a lot of work. Also there is a chance you make errors.

So there is also the possibility to delegate the subnet (my subnet is in the form of xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/56) to your own nameserver, so you can assign the PTR record automatically via the Plesk DNS template and let the Plesk nameserver do the work, at least that is what I understood from it.

However, in the Strato control panel when I choose for Delegation to own nameserver and I add my nameserver I get this error (IP address and domain name masked with xs):
Zone x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.ip6.arpa is (still) not configured for ns1.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx [ns1.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx], the delegation will not work.
Probably I need to tell Plesk somehow that I have this particular subnet in use? Is there a setting in Plesk which I wasnt able to find, or should I manually edit the bind configuration, or something else? Any help is appreciated.
