If you have external primary and secondary name servers that are
authoritative for some of your websites, switch off the Plesk’s DNS
service for each of these sites.
To switch off the Plesk’s DNS service for a site served by external
name servers:
-
Go to Websites & Domains and click the domain name whose DNS
settings you want to manage. -
Click DNS Settings.
-
Click Disable.
Turning the DNS service off for the zone will refresh the screen, so
that only a list of name servers remains. Note that the listed name
server records have no effect on the system. They are only presented
on the screen as clickable links to give you a chance to validate the
configuration of the zone maintained on the external authoritative
name servers. -
If you want to validate the configuration of a zone maintained on
authoritative name servers, do the following:- Add to the list the entries pointing to the appropriate name
servers that are authoritative for the zone: Click Add Record,
specify a name server, click OK, and then click Update. - Repeat the step a for each name server you would like to test. The
records will appear in the list. - Click the records that you have just created.
- Add to the list the entries pointing to the appropriate name
Plesk will retrieve the zone file from remote name servers and will
check the resource records to make sure that domain’s resources are
properly resolved. The results will be interpreted and displayed on the
screen.
