  • 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.

Howto second (slave) DNS without using slots?

Sempiterna

New Pleskian
I don't see how to create a slave DNS server on a 2nd plesk server. What i did was the following:

- Added the nameservers at the registrar

- Created the DNS domain on server1 without selecting any hosting options.

- Setting up NS1, pointing at IP address on server1, and NS2 at IP address at server2.

That all went fine, but when i create a domain on server1, its record is not being copied to server2 (where NS2 is). The only way i can create records there, it seems, is by also creating that same domain on server2 and then changing that domain's DNS settings to "slave".

I don't think that should be right, because then 1 domain costs me two plesk domain slots. So 100 domains on server1 will also cost the same number of slots on server2, while the domains arent even physically hosted there.

Maybe i'm missing the point here... how do i get slave DNS (NS2) to work on a 2nd server without creating those domains in plesk?
