change name servers for ALL users on a server

[bernhard]

Hi guys,

What is the easiest way to change the name servers for all the users on my server?

Yours,

Bernhard

Hello,

To change it in directadmin on Modify User page (for every single user), or in SSH as root if you want to do it very quickly for a big amount of users.

Hi Zeiter,

Thanks for the reply. This is very helpful! I'll let you know if this did the trick! I will probably use it this week or the next.

I don't believe that's as complete as it should be. After the .db files are fixed you should run the reload code for BIND (the DirectAdmin code which uses dataskq) to increment the zone file serial number and reload BIND (which will force notifications to slave nameservers.

While it may not be necessary depending on how you slave your DNS, I think it should be done, in case for some reason you'll switch to a slaving method which does require it, later.

It was not me who wrote the guide. Anyway Jeff is right, and this command should be executed in the ending:

echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

Sorry; I didn't mean to imply you did. I've already sent a note to John asking him to make the change.

Thanks for looking it up and posting it for me; I'm busy today .
