• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Slave DNS error

Chris1

Regular Pleskian
I am using the Slave DNS manager and I'm getting the following error in /var/log/messages on the slave server when the master/plesk tries to send change notifications.

received notify for zone 'example.com': not authoritative

The domain is pointing to ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com, the domains zone on the master has both of these as NS records. And the SOA record lists ns1.mydomain.com as the primary authoritative nameserver.

The zone has not been set on the slave server, what would be the cause here?

Slaves named.conf
bbb.bbb.bb.bbb = Slave IP
aaa.aa.aa.aaa = Master/Plesk

Code:
options {
  listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; bbb.bbb.bb.bbb; };
  listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };

Is it advising it is not authoritative because the config for this domain is not listed in in /var/named/3bf305731dd26307.nzf?

If so, why would it not be automatically creating the entry in there all of a sudden?
 
This problem appears to be resolved. I removed the Slave DNS manager and then re-installed it and that seemed to fix the issue.
