• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Add a slave dns server

We have a secondary server that I want to host dns on. It doesn't have plesk. Is there any way that I can tell plesk to add dns to two servers? I.e. 10.1.1.5 and 10.1.1.6 (their internal ips).
 
No offense, but I wouldn't have posted on here if I could have been able to find some instructions on what I'm trying to do in your user guide. There's nothing that I can find in there about how to set up plesk to push out it's dns entries to two different servers. The second not having plesk installed. Is this possible?
 
Any thoughts on this. I really need this set up.
 
If you purchase 2 licenses of SimpleDNS Plus it has a "Super Master/Slave" configuration that accomplishes this. The second server will automatically hold any domains that appear on the master. Any other way would involve crontab and scripts. This isn't a cheap solution but it works and is worth the time it saves.
 
Well this is windows so we don't have CRON. I guess I'll have to write some batch files and schedule them. I really can't believe that plesk has no way to push out dns to a secondary server. Maybe I should have stuck with hosting controller.
