Posted by dimsys, 02-07-2008, 03:01 AM Thank you for reading this message. We are starting a new hosting infrastructure. Starting with: 1 - Linux Plesk server 1 - Windows Plesk server Each of the above should be a primary DNS server so that customers can use Plesk to manage their DNS settings. The 'easy button' seems to be to add another IP to each server above and let each also be the secondary. My understanding is secondary DNS should definitely be on a separate server. With that said, I was thinking we should have a 3rd server that could be the secondary for either of the above. The KEY is AUTOMATION. I want it so if someone adds a domain to either of the Plesk servers, the secondary DNS is AUTOMATICALLY added as a secondary to the 3rd server. I found this tool: http://4psa.com/index.php?pcat=produ...4psadnsmanager I think it might work, but we can't be the only HSP using Plesk wanting to keep DNS split across two servers. What would the best approach be? Seeking something clean and reliable. Thanks all
Posted by hardweb, 04-17-2008, 05:59 AM If you want to have only two DNS servers, you will find some solutions. If you want to have an infrastructure, I don't know other solution than DNS Manager (that's why it was created). DNS means also other control panels (or even no control panels), we can not expect all infrastructures to have only Plesk servers on them. There is a free version of DNS Manager you can try.
