Question Plesk DNS export zones to PowerDNS?

[cloudbridge]

Hello Pleskians,

I have a question maybe someone has made it work?

Plesk example.com zone (master) transfer zone to PowerDNS slave server?
I need some sync with powerdns to manage all domains in one place that we could use other billing system with it

Are you looking for AXFR? Or just BIND format export?

What problems are there if you use Plesk Slave DNS Manager ?
Have you tried?

Hey John, I am looking just for solution and I don't have enough knowledge about AXFR. Now PowerDNS is on Ubuntu 20 + mariaDB (mysql) x2 VPS.

Hello Igor, I have tried it, but unsuccessfully.. I think it is because of PLESK is using BIND and I am using mariaDB (MySQL) on PowerDNS servers so can't transfer zones.

Yes, you are correct.

Igor it has been voted since 2015... Nothing changed and created.

Maybe you know if slave dns manager would work if PowerDNS would be set on bind backend?

Hi,
I have plesk running as secret supermaster on my network with four powerdns nameservers using AXFR and

options {
    ...
    notify yes;
    also-notify{
        ns1.ip;
        ns2.ip;
        ns3.ip;
        ns4.ip;
    };
    ...
};

in the named.conf on the plesk server, ok it is after the plesk comment

// -- THE FOLLOWING LINES WERE GENERATED BY PLESK. IF YOU MODIFY THEM, THEY WILL BE OVERWRITTEN WHEN THESE SETTINGS ARE MANAGED IN PLESK UI. --

but hasnt been an issue since I set them up in 2015, on multiple plesk servers

Regards
Keith

Hello RMPnet.. your best option is to export DNS zone file as bind and import it to PDNS if you need that. There is no other option to do it.
Why plesk is using one server for NS propagation I don't know but on server fail all domains will be gone without response... EXTERNAL NS is very important.

Hi @zte813
I don't need to do any zone exports, any new domains added to the server are automatically added to my external nameservers, and any changes done on the plesk server are reflected on the external nameservers faster than I can switch screens and refresh the records.

Why plesk is using one server for NS propagation I don't know but on server fail all domains will be gone without response... EXTERNAL NS is very important.

Which is why I have the plesk as a secret supermaster and the domains pointed to my ns1 - ns4 external nameservers.
