cPanel DNS Only + Directadmin clustering working together possible?

[Navigator]

We are looking to deploy our first directadmin server and move towards it if it proves to be a success.

However, currently we have cPanel and use cPanel DNSonly for redundancy.

Is it possible for Directadmin to submit DNS creation/modification/delete commands to the DNSonly VPS's so that we can keep our master/slave config all accross the board?

Thanks

DirectAdmin clustering requires DirectAdmin on both servers. You can probably do what you want to do, with a bit of administrator experience, or you can have us or someone else install the following for you, on both servers:

Check out Master2Slave DNS Replictor. You can find it by searching for it here in these forums. (I paid to have it written and I donated it into open-source.)

What kind of experience is needed? Are you saying you can run Master2Slave + cPanelDNS on same server on port 53?

Master2Slave is NOT a DNS server; it's a method of installing slave domains on a running BIND server (it should work with BIND on cPanel) but I don't guarantee it.

Hello Jeff,

If you wouldn't mind explaining the mechanics of that script?

Is it a service run under a port where Directadmin will connect and tell the server:

"add zone abc2.com" with "A 125.222.123.2" etc?

Then resync/restart Bind DNS?

Thanks

No. It uses standard master-slave functionality built into BIND; that's why it's called Master2Slave DNS Replicator.

The master server publishes the zone list from the named.conf file on a webpage, and the slave server picks it up, and massages the zone list into a list of slaves. Every fifteen minutes it synchronizes by getting an updated list.

Why not download it and look at it?
