Plesk Bind master + PDNS slaves zone transfer

[Andriy_Martynyuk]

Hi guys,

I'm experiencing the situation with zone transfer to PDNS slaves.

Expand/Collapse Block: Bind master options

// $Id: named.conf,v 1.1.1.1 2001/10/15 07:44:36 kap Exp $

// -- THE FOLLOWING LINES WERE GENERATED BY PLESK. IF YOU MODIFY THEM, THEY WILL BE OVERWRITTEN WHEN THESE SETTINGS ARE MANAGED IN PLESK UI. --
options {
allow-recursion {
localnets;
};
notify yes;
also-notify {
SLAVE_IP_1;
SLAVE_IP_2;
};
listen-on-v6 { any; };
version "none";
directory "/var";
auth-nxdomain no;
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
};

key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "<key-here>";
};

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "localhost.rev";
};

PDNS have slave=yes enabled and works great with PDNS master server I also have.

But, as written by PDNS community:

For example, if you use ns1.solcon.nl as primary NS-record you need to
have ‘ns1.solcon.nl’ as the nameserver-record in de supermasters-table.

So I've added a small script to crontab updating supermasters table every n minutes:

Expand/Collapse Block: script

#!/bin/bash
#Update PDNS Slave servers
pleskIP="plesk_IP"
DNSServerlist="slave_ip_1 slave_ip_2"
domainslist=`grep "zone" /etc/named.conf | grep -v "\(ARPA\|arpa\)" | awk -F\" '{if(NR>1)print $2 '}`
for i in $DNSServerlist; do
for count in $domainslist; do
domainns=ns.$count
echo "INSERT INTO supermasters (ip,nameserver) \
SELECT * FROM (SELECT '$pleskIP','$domainns') AS tmp \
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT nameserver FROM supermasters WHERE nameserver = '$domainns') LIMIT 1;" | mysql -u pdns -h $i -pdecafoumookeness pdns
#echo $domainns $i
done
done
/etc/init.d/named reload
namedconfcheck=`grep "notify yes" /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf`
if [ "$namedconfcheck" != " notify yes;" ]; then
echo "Please check /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf to be sure all SLAVE DNS get updates" | mail -s "`uname -n` WARNING: named.conf \"notify\" not present" my@mail.box
fi

It successfully updates supermasters table but does not send zone updates.
But when I do /etc/init.d/named restart all records are transfered. But restarting bind just by crontab is not a good solution...

So I've thought maybe you could help me with finding of domain creation script so I could modify it to run my script before it restarts Bind, or maybe drive me to other solution.

Thank you.

Have you read this doc - http://download1.parallels.com/Ples...extensions-guide/index.htm?fileName=72158.htm ?
I think it may help you.

 

[Andriy_Martynyuk]

Yes, it may, but that's more complex solution I don't have time to spend on for now . So I'm searching for other variants.

You can try to call

# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/dnsmng --update domain.name

or

for i in `mysql -uadmin -p\`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow\` psa -Ns -e "select name from domains"`; do /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/dnsmng --update $i; done

for updating and transferring zones of all domains.

Thx, it worked.
