  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Plesk Servers in DMZ / Private Subnet

Hi - I've been unable to find this answer. My plesk servers are in a DMZ and I would like to change the subnet to a private subnet and use NAT from the firewall. If I do so, then each domain will be assigned a private IP and that IP is populated to the DNS. The DNS then needs to be changed from private IP so as to reflect the public IP's. However, how will the domain (server) understand the public vs private IP??
 
I found a recently updated Plesk KB article that seems to confirm and answer my question. For the benefit of others...

My server is behind NAT and I cannot access a domain, get DNS or "connection cannot be established" error in the browser. http://kb.swsoft.com/en/1984

Make sure that the real IP addresses (but not the internal ones, like 192.168.x.x) are used in the DNS zones in Plesk for the domains. To achieve that, you should change all zones manually or setup DNS template on the Server->DNS with real IP addresses and rebuild DNS zones accordingly the template.
