View 1 RepliesI 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 ...

Currently, i have 1 dedicate email server running centos with DirectAdmin, it works just fine.
Hi there, i have few question for the best suited DNS Setup for our compagny.
We have tree server located in montreal.
Two are running web services, one of them is only for dns ( home server ).
Two main server have Whm/Cpanel.
One run Cpanel Dns only.
Main server have 7 ips each
Dns server, only have 1
Let say we use domain xxx.com
Right now we have ns1/ns2/ns3/ns4 point to server1
ns5/ns6/ns7 point to server2
We have no Nameserver that point to our dns only server for now.
I'd like to advoid runing DNS Service on all of them, maybe having two slave one master would be fine. Question: What would be the best suited dns setup with my current config for best responding time and fast replication?
We have two in-house servers, one is hosting our public web server. The other one was just purchased to host a mirror of the production server (as a backup). The site is protected by an SSL cert... my question is how do i set up the server(s) so if/when the backup server needs to be switched into produciton, the SSL cert will transition flawlessly?
They are both apache 2 servers.
I have registered a domain using godaddy. I have hosted my site on a server of my shared hosting provider(lets call them X).Currently I have pointed mydomain.com to the server and it is up and running.Sometimes, I have experienced downtimes.
In order to solve this problem, I have hosted a clone of my site on another server from another hosting company(lets call them Y).
1. I want mydomain.com to point to Y when X is down
2. again point it to X when it is up.
My main aim is to have my site live with less downtime. The probability having both servers down is very less.
I dont know if it is technically feasible, just a thought out of dirty mind. I tried to google but was not able to find an answer specific to my problem.
Can anybody tell me how to achieve this through godaddy domain.
Added note, My site is not a commercial site and I cant afford large dedicated servers with clustering and failovers.
I have 1 server so I setup dns as ns1.mydomain.com, ns2.mydomain.com ip address pointed to server1. So, now I just bought another server. Can I setup ns2.mydomain.com pointed to 2nd server. Also how to setup more servers ie. 10, 20 server because I can only set up to 6 dns in one domain name.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have the following three servers, which I'll call A, B, and C:
Server A - Web hosting server that uses cPanel on CentOS.
Server B - Free subdomain service (similar to afraid.org but on a much smaller scale), using PowerDNS with a MySQL database backend, on Debian.
Server C - Backup DNS server for the cPanel web hosting server, using the free cPanel "DNS Only" on CentOS.
Originally I had just A and B set up (they're two separate VPSes on the one dedicated server, I own the dedi and some friends and I have VPSes on it). Now I've got a VPS at a different data centre, and am using that for C.
To have a secondary DNS server for server B, I believe I can use MySQL replication to replicate the PowerDNS database to another server, then have a PowerDNS install on that server. My question is, is it possible to have server C as a backup DNS server for both server A (cPanel server) and server B (PowerDNS server)? ie. is there a way to check both PowerDNS and the cPanel BIND9 for domains (have them on different ports, and make one query the other if the lookup fails, perhaps)? Or perhaps use both the MySQL backend and the bind backend simultaneously in PowerDNS, and replace bind with PowerDNS (although I guess cPanel wouldn't like this)?
in setting up Primary & secondary MS DNS server for MS WIn 2003 server,
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust moved to a lxadmin based system from my current plesk system and I have a dilema
Configuration
Server 1: Main Web/CP/Primary DNS/Mail/etc
Server 2: Secondary DNS/Backup Mail forwarding
With Plesk I generated a transfer file from named.conf (plesk runs bind/named for dns) sent that over to server 2 a couple of times a day.
Problem is I've converted lxadmin to run with bind instead and named.conf only contains an include to lxadmin.named.conf and this is empty. So where does lxadmin put its conf files for named?
I'm not restricted to using named, I'd use djbdns if there was an equally simple way of transferring the zones across to server 2
It has been bought to my attention during our upgrade planning, that PPA & Plesk Panel do not offer the functionality for setting up a backup MX servers. In our current configuration we use Sendmail as both secondary and tertiary MX servers. These are manually configured and prone to configuration mistakes.
Multiple scenarios need to be taken into consideration.
Scenario 1: Hosters Plesk hosted primary mail server + secondary & tertiary mail servers.
Scenario 2: Client hosted primary mail server + hosters secondary & tertiary mail servers.
I am looking for alternate ways for backup / secondary MX servers for our planned PPA / Plesk deployment. An automated solution would be ideal, but we are falling short trying to find a solution to streamline the process and remove margin for error.
I have a server with two hard disks.
The centos operating system and plesk (and also apache webserver) are installed on the first hard disk.
I have mounted the second hard disk (6 TB with ext4 file system) in a folder under /var/www/vhosts/AHostingAccount directory.
This folder is accessible via plesk's file manager but i cannot access it via ftp.
One of our customers need to use a domain.de (.de ext), he registered the domain using godaddy, and godaddy have a few very special requirements for .de domains:
• The first 3 bits of the IP address (C-class) is different for each name server.
• A glue record is necessary for the domain on the name servers.
• The SOA (Start of Authority) must be within the following guidelines:
refresh : 10000 - 86400
retry: 1800 -28800
expire: 604800 - 3600000
ttl: 180 - 345600
This is all done, 2 different C class IPs for each name servers, glue record, and SOA has been configured between specified values. Because of the 2 C class, we created DNS at server1, and pointed all www traffic to server2 (where the domain.de will be hosted)
This is the DNS zone at server1 (an Ensim server):
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 3600 ; 1 hour
sitename.de IN SOA nameserver1.server.com. support@hostingcompany.com. (
2008010804 ; serial
10000 ; refresh (1 hour)
1800 ; retry (10 minutes)
604800 ; expire (2 weeks)
345600 ; minimum (1 hour)
)
NS nameserver1.server.com.
NS nameserver2.server2.com.
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
A XX.XX.XX.XX
$ORIGIN sitename.de.
ftp A XX.XX.XX.XX
www A XX.XX.XX.XX
This is the DNS zone at server2 (an cPanel server):
; Modified by Web Host Manager
; Zone File for sitename.de
$TTL 3600
@ 86400 IN SOA nameserver2.server2.com. support@hostingcompany.com. (
2008010804
10000
1800
604800
345600
)
sitename.de. 86400 IN NS nameserver2.server2.com.
sitename.de. 86400 IN NS nameserver3.server2.com.
sitename.de. 14400 IN A XX.XX.XX.XX
localhost.sitename.de. 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
sitename.de. 14400 IN MX 0 sitename.de.
mail 14400 IN CNAME sitename.de.
www 14400 IN A sitename.de.
ftp 14400 IN A XX.XX.XX.XX
While checking the domain at [url], an error appears:
Zone sitename.de.
Primary nameserver1.server.com. IP_ADDRESS_HERE
Secondary nameserver2.server2.com. IP_ADDRESS_HERE
Test results
---- fatal ----
f: [TEST SOA record present]: server failure (IN/SOA: sitename.de.)
* nameserver2.server.com./IP_ADDRESS_HERE
I have verified every single thing at sitename.de.db on both servers at /var/named/, disabled DNS Recursion protection, stopped firewall, and the error continues.
And the error as you can see only happens with SOA at second server.
i have dedicated server [ Debian/linux/ ], where isn't installed any control panel.
i'm using this server for my primary domain, but now decide to move to this server on of my domains too.
unfortunately, before this i "add domains" only via control panel, but as i know i can do it via SSH too (w/o any control panel).
can u give me any advice or give me url of tutorial with guide how to do it step by step.
i have experience of work via SSH, so knowing how to do, i'm sure i can do it myself.

I have 2 servers. How do I setup the DSN for these 2 servers with my domain? For example, I have domain "mydomain.com" and server1 and server2. I want
ns1.mydomain.com, ns2.mydomain.com --> server1
ns3.mydomain.com, ns4.mydomain.com --> server2
Both server installed cPanel/WHM.
I have a VPS account with WHM/Cpanel console access. I have three domains that I am trying to setup. Within WHM I have setup three different accounts, one for each domain. I am able to login to the cPanel for all three accounts. This also created a new web directory for each domain in /home/domain_name/public_html/. I have placed my default index.php in all three public_html with the same permissions. But only 1 domain is working the other two are not. What am I missing? I have confirmed that all three have the correct DNS servers with godaddy and I can do an nslookup on all three. My provider told me to share the IP so that is what I am configured as..
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got a VPS plan for the first time where I want to host several new websites. In the past I've used individual accounts to host a couple of other websites and haven't paid much attention to nameserver setup, just configured at my registrar whatever I was given from the hosting service.
So, I got a brand new domain to act as the host of the rest of the domains I'm setting up: www.example.com.
In the VPS I have setup this one as the default domain for nameservers: ns1.example.com
ns2.example.com
Question 1:
- Can I setup ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com as the nameserververs for www.example.com ? i.e. nameserver is used for the same domain in which it is named. Even if this is possible, is it a good idea or would it be better to host it somewhere else? When I try to define those as the nameservers in Godaddy I get the error message Nameserver not registered. What am I missing?
Other DNS questions
Question 2:
- If I host my nameservers in my VPS, I will need a separate IP for each one (ns1, ns2...and so on). Can I still use those IP's to actually host websites, or do I need additional IP's to host the actual sites? Any value in keeping each IP dedicated to a nameserver?
For example:
IP#1 = used for ns1
IP#2 = used for ns2
IP#1 = used for website 1
IP#2 = used for website 2
Question 3:
- Are DNS backup services valuable if I host my own nameservers? Any suggestions on good quality providers? Price not an issue.
Question 4:
- If I used DNS backup services for example.com will that apply to ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com which I used for my VPS? and therefore will be applicable to other domains I host? Does this make sense? Or would I need a separate backup for each domain I host? Can I use one backup for multiple domains?
Question 5:
- What are the drawbacks of hosting multiple sites under the same IP? I control all sites under these IPs
Question 6:
- Can somebody recommend a good resource to learn how IP, DNS, nameservers, etc work? Any book, paid website, video... anything ? While there's a ton of info on the web, all is scattered and none seems to be too detailed enough for somebody starting to learn about this.
I would like some help on setting up google apps emails on a PLESK hosting on 1and1.com.

where the error is?
SmarterMail 5.x is setup on one of our servers into Plesk 9.2. Just wondering how I configure a domain to use an external mailserver.
For example, the domain mydomain.org is running it's own extermal
mailservers;
mail.mydomain.org
mail2.mydomain.org
In MailEnable I would do the following;
- Start | Programs | Mailenable Administrator
- MailEnable | MailEnable Management | Messaging Manager | Post Offices
- Expand the mydomain.org domain
- Right-click the Domains folder and choose 'Properties"
- Select the 'domain is disabled' checkbox
- Select the 'Act as Smart Host'
checkbox
- In the 'Redirect mail to' textarea enter in the external
mailserver names;
mail.mydomain.org
mail2.mydomain.org
How can I configure SmarterMail to use the external mailservers of a domain?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking for setup a gateway (reverse proxy I guess?), specifically how to configure Apache to point to different webservers depending on domain name.
I currently have a single webserver running multiple virtual domains all accessible via a single external IP address.
I would like to break this into 2 servers each running multiple virtual domains accessible via gateway with a singe external IP address.
As an example, a single internet IP address points to port 80 on the gateway machine. The gateway machine will determine if its example1.com, example2.com, example3.com or example4.com. If its example1.com or example2.com it will direct internally to webserver1 and if its example3.com or example4.com it will direct internally to webserver2.
Webserver1 and webserver2 each host different websites via virtual hosts.
Is this possible and if so, what is the correct configuration of the gateway machine. I currently have installed apache2 with mod_proxy enabled, but I am struggling with configuring it properly.
Is there any cheap / stable VPS vendor in UK likes cheapvps.co.uk? I just need a minimum VPS (128MB RAM?) for secondary DNS.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI signed up with cheapvps.co.uk a month ago, and I'm very happy with them . Now I'm looking for a very small VPS to host a secondary DNS server, and maybe a backup MX server.
It's just for personal use.
I think 5GB disk space would be enough, and I would like not to spend more than $10 USD/month. Do you know any VPS that suits my needs?
We need a secondary DNS for our cPanel server, as we want to have separate nameservers. What is the cheapest vps anyone knows that is hosted outside of Bluesquare House (UK). Global location isn't important.
