Hi

I would like to add my DirectAdmin server to my DNS cluster. Right now, my other servers are running cPanel. I am told this is possible, but its difficult (with DA/cPanel).

My question is: Would it be easier to do this at the DNS service level, or is there a way to do it within DirectAdmin/cPanel?

Thanks
 
check on this forum to Master2Slave DNS Replicator, is not done for cPanel but i think that with a little of work you can make it work with that specs.

Master2Slave is what I'd consider an implementation of the DNS service level.

Good question. Master2Slave DNS Replicator never came out of beta because the programmer disappeared before it was finished, and I no longer support it except for our clients.

I have no idea if it would work on a cPanel server as is; I've never tried it. But you're welcome to modify it yourself if necessary; it's open source. I think I still host it at http://www.nobaloney.net/downloads

Master2Slave DNS Replicator is not designed to run a slave on a DirectAdmin server but with little or no modification it should be able to do so, since it writes only inside the /var/named/slaves directory, which is standard to all BIND installations. It will require an include line be added to /etc/named.conf, but that should work.

I'm moving to a DirectSlave environment for the future for slaving my DirectAdmin servers, and for my slave-DNS clients not using DirectAdmin we do custom installation on their servers to support automated slaving to our slave servers.
