  • 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.

Issue DNS/Nameserver Configuration

New Pleskian
Hi all,

Hopefully you guys can be of help, I have a Plesk server running Obsidian (18.0.25 Update #2) on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. I have two IP addresses for this server and I have modified the default DNS Zone Template to specify my secondary IP for the ns2 entry. This is the only change I have made to it. I have since added a domain to the server and DNS has been populated from the template correctly with ns1.tiphmiller.com and ns2.tiphmiller.com. There are also correct A records for these and the DNS settings look fine. (See below)

I have changed the domain nameservers at my registrar to reflect the ones in the DNS record on the Plesk server along with the relevant IP addresses. The problem I am having is that pointing the domain at my Plesk server is having no effect. The nameservers are picked up correctly on a DNS check as ns1.tiphmiller.com and ns2.tiphmiller.com but the A record is not being picked up and the site subsequently doesn't work.

I was under the impression that adding custom nameservers to point at my Plesk server to my domain would be sufficient for the Plesk server to become the authorative DNS zone for the domain. Any ideas why this doesn't work? Have I missed something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
As I use my Plesk Install as a primary DNS for years now. There Only could be an issue with the Registrar.
