What are you using for a secondary DNS server with Plesk 12.5 for Windows? What is the easiest solution?

If you are still using CentOS 7.9, it's time to convert to Alma 8 with the free centos2alma tool by Plesk or Plesk Migrator. Please let us know your experiences or concerns in this thread:

Have you read about official solutions here http://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/administrator-guide/dns/using-external-dns-servers.72230/ ?

Yes I've read that. I'm curious what people are actually using with Plesk 12.5 for Windows. We have external DNS that we can use but we like the idea of allowing customers to manage their DNS through Plesk but what are others doing in order to replicate or zone transfer to a secondary?
This is what we're thinking however looks like this is only supported for Plesk 12.5 for Linux.
Use an extra server
Another option is to use an extra server as a slave name server with the help of the "Slave DNS manager" extension for Plesk. You can download the extension here: https://ext.plesk.com/packages/f58eac32-6fda-4886-8d44-d3cb7b98933e-slave-dns-manager.
Note that if you are running two or more Plesk servers, you can use them as slave name servers for each other. For example, if you have two Plesk servers named host1.com and host2.com, you can use host1.com as the master name server for domains hosted on that server, and host2.com as a slave name server (and vice versa).
