dns_a.conf variable

[Kiekeboe100]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a DNS record depending on the reseller that created the user.

I've already successfully changed virtual_host2.conf like this:

|*if CREATOR="ipv6"|
# Creator is ipv6
DO SOME STUFF
|*endif|

But when using the same format in dns_a.conf these values don't seem to be added after creating a user.

Is there a list of variables that we can use in the different template files? And should the CREATOR variable work or not?

thanks,
Stijn

Hello,

I guess you can not use |CREATOR| token there... try this http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=196 if your reseller has his own set of NS servers.

Hi,

thanks. This is working. I've already modified dns_ns.conf to ignore ns2 (as 2nd and 3th ns are external and the same for everyone).
I've added a false ns2 server to the reseller, and used this to add custom dns values.

It would be nicer to be able to use |CREATOR|, but this is a usable workaround, thanks.

Hello,

The main reason there isn't a CREATOR is because not all zones have Users.

It's possible to create a zone at:
Admin Level -> DNS Admin -> Add Zone

and it will not be linked to a User or creator, so the variable wouldn't always be filled.
The NS1/NS2 records will always be present, so would be a better choice for checks.. but requires that the values differ per creator.

Also note that the token IS_IPV6=yes will be set if the new IP is IPv6.
But.. you'd be using dns_aaaa.conf for IPv6 IPs anyway.
