Twitterhi people -
i have a domain on my virtuozzo VPS with 'external' nameservers.
it seems to me that i should not need to run DNS services for this domain on my VPS. the documentation says i can turn off DNS services for the domain:
http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...-resellers-guide/index.htm?fileName=59773.htm
however, if i turn off plesk DNS services for the domain, requests for 'www.<mydomain>.<mytld>' are not handled properly - i get the default server page. requests for '<mydomain>.<mytld>' are handled correctly.
this behaviour doesn't not depend on the identity of the external nameservers - i get the same results regardless of where i have the external nameservers. also, i get this behaviour regardless of whether 'www.<mydomain>.<mytld>' is configured in the DNS zone using an 'A' record or a 'CNAME' record.
setting up my VPS's DNS to act as a slave DNS server does not help.
the only thing which helps (as far as i can see) is to configure my VPS's DNS server as the primary DNS server and adding the www CNAME record there - which is bizarre!
something's not right here.
any ideas?
