4 Records for Nameservers instead of two

Hi,

It would be useful to have 4 records for name servers instead of two
There are case that would be very useful to admins, especially when they have DNS clusters

I clarify to Admin settings -> Server Settings

If I want extra I can do via DNS management

Please see this guide: How to add a 3rd name server (ns3): https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=196

You should be able to use the same guide to add both ns3 and ns4.

It works only for 1 IF + 1 ELSE condition.

If you want to add ns3 for multiple resellers, you have no choice!

I tried the followings and none of them worked;

|*if NS1="ns1.reseller1.com."|
ns3.reseller1.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*else if NS1="ns1.reseller2.com."|
ns3.reseller2.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*else|
ns3.adminreseller.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*endif|

OR

|*if NS1="ns1.reseller1.com."|
ns3.reseller1.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*elseif NS1="ns1.reseller2.com."|
ns3.reseller2.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*else|
ns3.adminreseller.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*endif|

OR

|*if NS1="ns1.reseller1.com."|
ns3.reseller1.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*if NS1="ns1.reseller2.com."|
ns3.reseller2.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*else|
ns3.adminreseller.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*endif|


Please add simple ns3 and ns4. Only a quarter left to 2020 and it has only 2 ns entries for everyone in the server.

It works only for 1 IF + 1 ELSE condition.

|*else|
ns3.adminreseller.com.=|DOMAIN|.

|*if NS1="ns1.reseller1.com."|
ns3.reseller1.com.=|DOMAIN|.

|*if NS1="ns1.reseller2.com."|
ns3.reseller2.com.=|DOMAIN|.
|*else|
ns3.adminreseller.com.=|DOMAIN|.

Please add simple ns3 and ns4.

I don't know how long we have to wait, we are currently at version 1.60.4, and it is planned to be developed in version 1.60.5

Now let's hope it comes out real soon, since we have many servers we want to have this feature (without having to use the other and very old manual method https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=196)

I'd suggest placing this on feedback.directadmin.com. Thank you!

I placed this here so there will be a link for people coming on this page via a search engine in the future.
As for now, I can wait. Or grab a beta version when it is available.

If this feature will released what will happen with installations which has add 3th DNS server manually (old way) then ?

Since you changed the template and placed in the custom folder, it will remain the same. Your template now overrules the update, until you either change your template or remove it. If you do, you can switch to the new situation. You will need to find out what is worth more to you: keep using the old way, or migrate to the new way of doing this. Maybe you want to stick to the old way, since you have a lot of variables in your template which work very well for your situation.
