  • 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.

Setup Auto-Update Secondary DNS on Windows Server 2012? Possible?

New Pleskian
We have a simple setup with two Windows 2012 servers. Both have Plesk, but one is the "master" (Server 1) with all DNS, CP, mail, etc. And the other (Server 2) just host websites through A records pointed from the master.

The problem currently is that if we reboot server 1, then all of the sites on server 2 also go down. So we want the DNS on server 2 to be a secondary of server 1 DNS.

I found how to set it up domain by domain (individual zone by zone), but how can I set it up to copy ALL of the Forward Lookup Zones, now and in the future?

I'm interested in either a Plesk or a Windows Server option. I just need something that will work reliably and auto update (so when we add new zones to server 1 DNS, it will update server 2 DNS zones also, including adding new ones and deleting old ones).

Is this possible?
