  • 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 Change bind/named ports

Hi,
we need to change the ports bin9 is listening on on a Plesk-System.
This applies to both, the DNS-Port (53) and the RNDC-Port (953).

In the file /var/named/run-root/etc/named.conf there is a special section for custom directives, however bind doesn't allow to overwrite already existing blocks. In the block provided by Plesk there is already an "options"-directive, so it's not possible to add another one. However listen-on has to be places inside options.
We may add another rndc-port by adding an additional controls-block: contols allows for multiple blocks to be present, however those are simply added and don't overwrite previous blocks.

The DNS-Port may also be changed by adding -p <newport> to the file /etc/systemd/system/bind9.service.d/plesk.conf, though this doesn't help in changing the rndc-port.

Is there a way to change those ports in a different way? Maybe some option in panel.ini, or changing a plesk config file?
