  • 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.

Question no DNS answer on main domain

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.62
Hi!
I am using Plesk 18.0.62 on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS with some domains and Plesk as Primary DNS.
One of my domains got DNS Problems. No answer on main-domain, only subdomains.
No answer with main-domain:
Code:
dig @plesk.my-domain.de +short domain.de TXT
but subdomain gives an answer:
Code:
dig @plesk.my-domain.de +short sub.domain.de TXT
like:
Code:
"v=spf1 +a +mx -all"
But only this domain.
It's like, there is no entry. But everything looks like the same as other domains or the sub-domain.

What is wrong an how can I fix it?
 
Just to be sure, is DNS enabled for the domain? If it is enabled already try to run plesk repair dns -y to sync zones between Plesk database and DNS server to see if that fixes the issue.
 
Hi!
As I said, I am getting an answer on subdomain and all other domains. Only this one domain did not answer.
DNS is enabled.
The repair does not change anything. No errors after running and same error with dig.
 
Does plesk bin dns --info example.de | grep v=spf return an SPF record for the main domain?
 
Does plesk bin dns --info example.de | grep v=spf return an SPF record for the main domain?
Yes!
How have you configure the DNS for this (main) domain in the domain registrar?
What do you mean?
The domain ist configured like every other domain. I just need to declare the primary (my Plesk server) and some secondary DNS. As I said: subdomains from this problem-domain are working!
 
This could be useful, I've done another dig without "+short":
Code:
dig @plesk.domain.de defect-domain.de TXT

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> @plesk.domain.de defect-domain.de TXT
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 42443
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1
...
That error: status: SERVFAIL
There should be: status: NOERROR
