Hello

We are a cPanel shop that has been around for several years and I am looking into starting to offer Directadmin.

We have a redundant cPanelDNS only cluster in two different physical locations that server all our hosted customers, and we are looking to take advantage of it if we go the directadmin way.

Is it possible to use cPanelDNSonly server as a DNS server for Directadmin, I am sure it is possible as BIND is involved in both control panels.

The question is:

1) Is there an already existing solution/script that will take care of the sync?

2) Will it only create/modify/delete domains hosted in directadmin? (we don't want data corruption).

Thanks

There are a heap of different ways you can do this. DA already has a DNS multi-server setup which does this.

Which you can't do except to servers run by DirectAdmin. I don't think you can use both cPsanel and DirectAdmin at the same time, so i don't think user Navigator can use this solution to get DNS records from DirectAdmin into the cPanel DNS cluster.
If you want to get DA to send records to Slaves - you can - with some scripting...

In addiiton to ranz's suggestion you might also want to look into Master2Slave DNS Replicator which I paid to have written a few years ago. It might take some reworking and/or experimentation to get it to send slave records to a cPanel DNS cluster. Search for it on these forums. It's released under the GNU General Public License, version 2, and can be found here. Note only the beta version is available. But it works well and we and others use it to manage thousands of domains' DNS.

Have you also checked your /etc/named.conf file?
It could be that localhost is not included as allowed to lookup local hostnames.
