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"; };

};
