I'm confused about how Plesk interacts with a nameserver hosted on the same dedicated server as your Web sites.
1. Where in Plesk do you access the BIND nameserver itself? For example, to assign what IP it uses, and edit global nameserver settings?
2. In the Plesk server-wide DNS template, it indicates the template will create records for new domains with "ns.domain". But nameservers are typically named "ns1." and "ns2." -- and they might be named anything else as well. So is Plesk actually setting up "mydomain.com" to use a nameserver of literally "ns.mydomain.com" when that specific "ns." nameserver doesn't exist?
3A. How do you switch the local nameserver to be a slave for all hosted domains at once?
3B. If you switch the nameserver to be a slave per-domain, where do you enter the IP of the master server for that domain?
4. Two obscure things I think (?) you're supposed to do are: assign the nameservers themselves a nameserver; and setup a "reverse lookup" nameserver. How are these things done in Plesk (if these points are accurate)?
5. If you want to be unwise and direct both of your registered nameservers to your one dedicated server, what exactly should you do? Do you set up two "instances" of BIND, and assign each a separate IP? Or do you assign two IPs to the one "instance" of BIND? Or do you have to register both of your nameservers at your domain registrar with the same IP (which I think some registrars won't let you do)?
Thanks
