  • 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.

Resolved Use Slave DNS Manager extension for more than a server

SalvadorS

Regular Pleskian
Hello,

I use Slave DNS Manager extension without any problem in one server. But if I want to use a slave dns server extension for 2 different plesk servers to work with a slave DNS server I have a problem.

If I edit the file /etc/bind/named.conf.options in the DNS slave server, if I add only one server:

//pleskserver1

key "rndc-key-IP" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "xxx";
};

controls {
inet * port 953 allow { IP; 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key-IP"; };
};

All worked well. But if I add a second server:

//pleskserver1

key "rndc-key-IP" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "xxx";
};

controls {
inet * port 953 allow { IP; 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key-IP"; };
};

//pleskserver2

key "rndc-key-IP" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "xxx";
};

controls {
inet * port 953 allow { IP; 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key-IP"; };
};

For the first one plesk server all worked well but for the second I have this error:

rndc: recv failed: connection reset

So, How i can modify /etc/bind/named.conf.options file to combine multiple plesk servers in the DNS slave server?

Thank you in advance
 
Hi Salvador,

This is where you may have the issue

controls {
inet * port 953 allow { IP; 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key-IP"; };
};

You should have only one entry in the conf file that covers both plesk servers like so.

controls

{inet * port 953 allow { server1IP; server2IP; 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key-server1IP"; "rndc-key-server2IP"; };

};
