Question IONOS as secondary dns?

Hello everyone,

maybe someone here can help me out — I’m a bit stuck.

I’m running a Plesk server on IONOS (linux vps) and would like to use it as an authoritative DNS server. My domain is registered with INWX, and I’d like to point it to my Plesk nameserver.

To avoid dealing with glue records, I used a different domain where I created A and AAAA records for ns1 and ns2 pointing directly to my Plesk system. I also configured those entries in my Plesk DNS template.

Now, I’ve set exactly these ns1 and ns2 as nameservers for my INWX domain and opened port 53 on IONOS. However, the nameserver still doesn’t seem to resolve correctly. I’ve tried a few different approaches already, but I’m wondering if there’s maybe some specific issue with IONOS here?

Anything particular I need to keep in mind?

I’ve never set up a hidden primary or secondary DNS configuration in Plesk before, but I’ve followed all the usual documentation as far as I can tell.

Environment:
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Plesk Obsidian v18.0.72_build1800250915.05 (Ubuntu 24.04)
