Not using the DNS from the DA server for a user domain

Where do I set that?

Normally you don't need to set that if you mean his nameserver is external. The customer has set this with his registrar if all is correct.
If you want's to use your nameserver (so your DNS) he has to change nameservers at his registrar.

However, some things he needs to copy to his registrar, like (if present) SPF, DKIM and DMARC records.
And other required records needed to visit his domain, like the www, ftp, mail, smtp and stuch. So in fact he has to copy all DA records to his external DNS.

There is a LEGO function for this to work automatically, but some login info might be required and some configuration too.

Yes, his domain registrar does the serving.
And no, he doesn't want to move it to my DA.

Yes, I would like to make the copying process automatically.

Ideally, I would want to just use DA as a 3rd NS, with the bind server that get data through normal zone transfer.

But LEGO could be enough. What is that, and where can I get it?
Thanks for providing me that info, it's one of the solution I'm looking for.

If it their external dns, you can't do anything. It customer jobs or external service jobs. Like cloudflare. ..etc.. to create and match your domain records.

But it still can use let's encrypt for SSL Certs except Wildcard Certs doesn't work with external dns.

For me, the best solution would be a zone transfer as a 3rd DNS Server.

I use GoDaddy with API keys to generate wildcard LE certificates, that works well. Also with CloudFlare.

But a bind software on the DA server as a 3rd DNS, that would be perfect. DA could get all the data it needs for everything. Except editing, but that not at all a problem.

I think I will do a feature request… ;-)

Thanks to all for the answers. Regards, Antoine.
