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

Issue Nameserver sorting / Primary NS

CGI1979

Basic Pleskian
Dear folks,

in Plesk 12 and 17 on Debian there is a behavior as following:
Given I have those NS-Entries for testdomain.org:

dns1.mydns.org
dns2.mydns.org
dns3.mydns.org
dns4.mydns.org

The first Entry dns1.clicksports.org is the Primary NS.
But when I "dig axfr testdomain.org" Plesks Bind returns: SOA dns4.mydomain.org.
The only way to resolve this issue is to edit the dns1 set it to dns5 and change dns4 to dns1.
Now "dig axfr testdomain.org" Plesk returns: SOA dns1.mydomain.org which is correct.

Is there another way to define which NS is Primary?
 
Here is the official response from Plesk...
How to change DNS server in domain SOA record

Question
How to change DNS server SOA record of a particlular domain?

Answer
Currently, Plesk generates SOA records automatically with the first NS record added. There is no any functionality to select another name server directly.

To set the desired NS record as name server in SOA record, we need to apply following steps:

  1. Remove all name servers from the DNS zone.

  2. Add the desired primary NS record, and update SOA record. It will generate SOA record with the desired name server.

  3. Add the name servers back.
