  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    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. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Question Reverse Proxy

paoloperletti

New Pleskian
I'm migrating the sites from a server (A) to a another server (B). both with plesk.

The DNS still point to (A) and I want that (A) redirect the connections to (B)

should I use the reverse proxy? how?
 
After the websites are migrated, why would you not want to update DNS so that the new host delivers them?
 
I will migrate the dns, but they are more than 100 domains. not for all I have the dns management. My customers will not migrate all the dns at the same time and I have to migrate the server as soon as possible.
 
Are the nameservers they are currently using on a domain that you own? If so, point one nameserver to the new box, and one nameserver to the old box. Suspend the domain on the old server once migrated. You'll only have one nameserver responding at a time and upon completion you can update the second nameserver to point to the main box as well.
 
Well, it's not exactly a pretty solution but once migrated, you can add an additional nginx directive for the domain formatted about the following;

Code:
location ~ {
    proxy_pass http://X.X.X.X/$uri$is_args$args;
    proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
}

Where X.X.X.X is new IP.

Doing this more then 100 times doesn't sound fun though..... how much data is on the server needing to be migrated?
