Slave DNS does not synchronize

[TorbHo]

We bulk-changed DNS ip adresses directly through phpmyadmin (search and replace).
psa -> dns_recs -> val
and
psa -> dns_recs -> displayVal

After that we used "plesk repair dns" to synchronize the new ips with bind.

If we do a dnslookup on the primary DNS server everything seems to be fine.

The Secondary DNS doesn't seem to synchronize the new ips. We don't have direct access to the secondary DNS Server. Do we have to change something in addition, so that the new zones are transfered to the secondary DNS?

I'm guessing plesk repair dns didn't update the serial numbers.

Every DNS zone has a serial number, if this number doesn't change, then changes aren't propagated. Every time a change is made, ensure this number is incremented by one so that other name servers see a new zone is available.

Thank you. That worked.

After changing value in: psa -> dns_zone -> serial + "plesk repair dns"

the secondary DNS started to synch.

For the next time: is there a Plesk build-in solution that bulk-changes the DNS ips and the serial, too?

There is a commercial 3rd party extension that might help (I'm not affiliated with them):

The TTL is not the problem. For that we use http://kb.odin.com/en/120025

But sometimes we have to change a lot of DNS ips to new values. Not all of them, so we can't use the DNS template change in Plesk.
