How to setup secondary dns server for Plesk?

Roland_R

New Pleskian
Hello,

I have Plesk 12 with bind. Currently I have 2 ips on same server, so the 2 name servers are on same machine. When I installed it I didn't do any extreme thing, it just worked.

I purchased an other server, because I need it for development. I would like to setup the new server as secondary dns server. I don't use Plesk on the new server.

How can I setup this with record sync? I'm using ubuntu.

Thank you!

I did it with this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto#Secondary_Master_Server_configuration

The problem is that everytime when I add new domain, I have to repeat it. Is there a way to sync it?

One more thing.. As I mentioned I have to IPs on the 'master' server (A for master, B for secondary), but when I turn off the new server (slave) the master doesn't serve the clients. Where is the problem?

ping: cannot resolve XY.net: Unknown host
