Hi.
I just want to figure out how any IP addresses do I need.

As I understand it:
1x DirectAdmin
2x ns1, ns2 (on the same machine)
1x IP for DirectSlave
4 IPs in total.

Is that corrent?
Is what the point of having two IPs assigned to one machine? If it goes down both IPs are goind down.
Shouldn't it be sth like:
1x DA
1x ns1 (on DA machine)
1x ns2 (on DirectSlave)
3 in total?

With regards,
Tomasz Tancula
 
HI Tomasz,

both are wrong actually, you need 1 IP per box.

1 IP for DA, that itself can be considered NS1
1 IP for DS, that will work as Slave DNS Server with DirectSlave itself

Other people use other way to do that, for example i do have 2 exetrnal NS Server, so DA is not working as NameServer, so i got 3 server each one with 1 IP.

Otherwise, if you have just 1 Server, to acchieve the DNS RFC that require 2 NS with different IP, you need 2 IP on the same server.

That's it.

Regards
 
So should I setup DA with one IP and then in 'Multi Server' connect two remote server with 1 IP each?
If so I have a domain that I want to use with da like: da.domain.com (eg 10.10.10.100)
Then how to glue DNS to ns1.domain.com (10.10.10.101) and ns2.domain.com (10.10.10.102) both on different remote machines?
I used option "With 2 Selected IP's create ....." before. That was when I glued a domain to DA. But when sth happened to DA, DNS also stopped. That why I want to use DA with DirectSlave.
 
Yes you can use 3 boxes this confugured:

Box 1: DA
Box 2: DS
Box 3: DS

Once configured the DS Servers, you can enable the Multi-Server Setup in DA adding those two DS boxes, remember to make the needed change on named.conf to "allow transfer" and "also notify" with the two DS Server IP

Regards
 
So I will not use "With 2 Selected IP's create ....." on 'reseller level' this time?
Just manually assign ns1 to IP of 1st DS and ns2 to 2nd IP in DNS aqdministration on 'admin level'?
 
No, you don't need that. You just need to select ns1 and ns2 in admin settings, all domain will use those.

On the domain hosting ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com you need to add 2 A record for ns1 and ns2 with the correct IP and at your domain registar you need to register those nameservers with their IP.

Regards
 
I set up DS server but when I add new domain I get:

So there is only localhost zone. Nothing is added to /etc/named/secondary/

I've edited your post to hide the password, i still suggest you to change it.

This is the only domain that return an error?
Does the named.conf (DS side) file get filled?

Regards
 
I changed posted pass.
All of the domain return an error.
And /etc/named/secondary/named.conf is empty
