Question
How to integrate primary Plesk DNS server with secondary Slave DNS server?
Answer
Plesk as Master DNS + external Linux-based DNS server
The integration can be performed using Slave DNS Manager extension available in Extensions Catalog in Plesk: Plesk > Extensions > install Slave DNS Manager > Add Slave > specify Slave DNS IP Address
Visit Plesk Administrator’s Guide for instructions on setting up a secondary DNS.
Plesk as Master DNS + DNS on a cloud service
Use one of the following Plesk extensions:
Plesk as Master DNS + another Plesk as slave DNS
If the Slave server has Plesk installed, there is no need to install Slave DNS Manager extension.
Perform the following steps:
-
Add IP of the Slave DNS in the master DNS server in Tools & Settings > DNS Template > Transfer Restrictions Template
-
Create the same domains in both Master and Slave Plesk servers.
Warning: The same domains should exist on both master and slave Plesk servers. It prevents DNS data from getting corrupted.
-
Change DNS to Slave mode on Slave server side in Domains > example.com > DNS Settings > Switch to Slave.
