  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Update specific nameserver for all domains

Hangover2

Hello,

we want to update one nameserver entry for all domains hosted on a Plesk server (it's a slave NS entry).

The zone records template will be updated accordingly for new domains created, but we do not want to apply it for all existing domains because some zones were manually changed and we are afraid, that maybe other entries get lost or overridden when enforcing a full sync.

What is the best way to exchange one old nameserver entry with a new on in the DNS for all existing domains?

Our plan was to execute the following command directly in the database:

SQL:
UPDATE `dns_recs` SET `val` = "my-new.nameserver.com", `displayVal` = "my-new.nameserver.com" WHERE `type` = "NS" AND `val` = "my-old.nameserver.com";

After this we would call /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/dnsmng --update domain-with-new-nameserver.com for all affected domains.

Is there a faster or better way to handle this use case or did we miss sth.? Thanks in advance for any answer.
 
I am always a bit hesitant to make any modification directly in the PSA database. Personally I'd probably use the REST API, which probably isn't faster than running a SQL query. But I assume you run a script to handle to updates for you anyway?
