Disable local DNS services

[crenet]

Hi,

I am on Debian 9.3 and I do not need named service on DA because I am using external but I still like to see DA creating the DNS records.
I read this thread

So I do the following steps:

1. Edit /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status to named=OFF
2. systemctl stop named
3. systemctl disable named
4. edit /etc/init.d/bind9 I added on top exit 0;
5. cat /etc/systemd/system/named.service

[Unit]
Description=BIND Domain Name Server
Documentation=man:named(8)
After=network.target
Wants=nss-lookup.target
Before=nss-lookup.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/echo -n ''



Then I reboot an
systemctl status named

● named.service - BIND Domain Name Server

Dec 25 11:22:06 host.domain.com systemd[1]: named.service: Failed with result

We still get the service in service list but stopped.
Is this what we expect when not using local DNS ?
Will the domain records be added ?

Thanks

This doesn't gone a help i guess but you never know.

Is some mail handled on this server , if yes then DKIM?

DKIM option and DNS suggestions if user set on NODNS

So what´s the conclusion about using DA also as a mail server and a external DNS service?
Do DA have support for this setup ?
Or the only solution will be using other script ?

Will DirectAdmin allow to show a DKIM public key even if DNS control is disabled for an user ?

Presently I am using a external DNS service and the DA DNS, are there any DNS implications with this setup ?

I don't have endconclusion myself while some are not implemented / possible... (yet)

As the DKIM, DKIM rotation , DANE TLSA-record .

Those are a problem then!

if using da dns together with external you have to copy /use DKIM manualy. ( With DKIM rotation and also DANE TLSA this is a pain in the. A.s )

IF DA with NODNS sofare i know both not possible (DKIM and DANE TLSA at all)

So request was made sofar i know but...
