DNS TXT entries not updating

[kardklub]

I am running
OS Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Plesk version 12.0.18 Update #34, last updated at Feb 10, 2015 01:52 AM

I have created a few websites using plesk and i have the dns acting as the primary .
This server acts as a primary nameserver for the DNS zone mywebsite.co.uk
When i add a txt record the dns is updated but it never resolves so my DKIM and SPF records are never found. Has any one else come across this problem. I have checked my syntax for the records and all are fine. My domains are hosted by stratoservers. Is it there fault or mine. Should i change providers so i have more access to the domains dns or should plesk be doing that for me

Hope some one can help

Hi kardklub,

please be aware, that your rented strato server is not the initial nameserver for your domain. Your domain provider ( in your case "Strato" ) does provide access to his nameserver as well, where you have to setup additional settings like SPF and/or TXT entries. Please read the Strato FAQs for it please: http://www.strato-faq.co.uk/article...in-the-SPF-Record-configuration-dialogue.html

I googled and googled and i hopefully have found the issue
DNS bind in plesk was never running even though installed. Thanks to this link

i have started DNS Bind and fingers crossed.

Many Thanks for you reply.
