Connect DirectAdmin server to cPanel DNS cluster servers

[hostcademy]

I have a simple script to sync the DNS on my DA servers to my two cpanel DNS ONLY nameservers. I think you guys are over-thinking this:

On each cpanel DNS ONLY nameserver this script runs every 10 minutes:

#!/bin/bash
rsync -avz -e ssh [email protected]:/var/named/*.db /var/named/
cd /var/named
chown named.named *.db
/scripts/rebuilddnsconfig

Works perfectly, no need to complicate matters.

Anyone where can I download the dns_write_post.sh script I can't find it anywhere. when I go here https://46.8.35.25/dns_write_post.sh.txt it fails.

Thanks

I don't know if it's safe, but you can check this one.

OK thanks for that I did find that file online, so good to know this is the one everyone is referring to. Next is anyone have a dns_write_post_config.php example?

Thanks

May be much better to use https://github.com/promek/px-dns-da2cp ?
Or https://forum.directadmin.com/threa...-cpanel-dns-cluster-servers.58085/post-350593 texo solution?

 

[mdspidle]

Yeah I've looked at that one too, I like the php solution between the 2 though.

 

[shvaber]

My own expierence - I'm using px-dns-da2cp, since 2019, because of too much problems had with php solution.
So I suggest px-dns-da2cp, really.

Ok I;m looking at px-dns again, it is installed but it doesn't do anything. I change a record on the DA server but it does not change it on the cpanel server. It doesn't write anything to the log file either. Any ideas?

 

[mdspidle]

NM I see the DEBUG flag is false...

 

[shvaber]

It can be run manually also, so you can test it

Ok next issue, cpanel dns only does not like the named file that was synced over. I ran this manually to see if it actually worked:

/opt/px-dns-da2cp/px-dns-da2cp.sh sync xxx.xxx --ipaddr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and it does rsync the named file over and I can manually run the rndc commands but cpanel doesn't read that named file correctly. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

 

[mdspidle]

Ok I have it working when I update a record in the DA admin area, but cpanel still doesn't like the files that are rsynced over. Any ideas?

After playing for quite a while it is working now.

Hi, How did you fix it mate?

 

[shvaber]

it will be better if you publish errors you got.

I think that all solutions, yes you can make it work but it's not 100%, can not be compared with making this native DA feature.
So... I suggest to vote for it -> https://feedback.directadmin.com/b/feature-requests/ability-to-cluster-with-cpanel-dns-cluster
