  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

How to setup secondary dns server for Plesk?

Roland_R

New Pleskian
Hello,

I have Plesk 12 with bind. Currently I have 2 ips on same server, so the 2 name servers are on same machine. When I installed it I didn't do any extreme thing, it just worked.

I purchased an other server, because I need it for development. I would like to setup the new server as secondary dns server. I don't use Plesk on the new server.

How can I setup this with record sync? I'm using ubuntu.

Thank you!

I did it with this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto#Secondary_Master_Server_configuration

The problem is that everytime when I add new domain, I have to repeat it. Is there a way to sync it?

One more thing.. As I mentioned I have to IPs on the 'master' server (A for master, B for secondary), but when I turn off the new server (slave) the master doesn't serve the clients. Where is the problem?

ping: cannot resolve XY.net: Unknown host
