Hello form country of Poland.

Greatest greetings to all board members, as well as it is my first post on this cool forum.

My problem is:

Setting nameservers on two directadmin servers.
I'm having two servers, and both are with directadmin.
Let's call them A and B. Nowadays, nameservers of both this servers are at machine C.

The problem is when user wants to redirect domain to A or B, i have to add manually zone on machine C. I want it to be automatically done.

My question is:

How can i get rid of machine C?
I want to have:
On machine A :
Primary DNS : adress of machine A
Secondary DNS : adress of machine B

On machine B :
Primary DNS : adress of machine B
Secondary DNS : adress of machine A

So user which wants to attach own domain on my diorect admin will be able to do it autimatically.

I hope my request is as clear as it can be. Instructions step by setp are very very welcome due to my still growing skills of directadmin/linux.

Big thanks for any interest, and help!!!!!

All the best,
The directadmin user.

You can probably do what you want with the DirectAdmin Multi Server Setup from the main admin login screen.

Note that Multi Server Setup only sets up DNS, and nothing else.

What Jeff suggested is by far the easiest way to do this if you have DirectAdmin installed on all three servers. Here's a step by step guide:

Log in to your DirectAdmin panel on server A.
Select Multi-Server Setup.
Enter the IP for server C, click the SSL check box if you've set up DA using SSL, enter your username, and password.
Click Add.

Click the check box next to the server you just added and Test Connection(s). If the connection works, click "Turn On".

Repeat these steps for server B. Now server A and B will send the new zone information to server C whenever a user is added.
 
Great!,

Now i have connection form A to B by directadmin's Multi Server Setup!:)

Now how to set this:
on machine A:
ns1 - on machine A
ns2 - on machine B

on machine B:
ns1 - on machine B
ns2 - on machine A

(I want to get rid of machine C )

However you can help me to configure machine C in this way:
on machine A:
ns1 - on machine A
ns2 - on machine C
on machine B:
ns1 - on machine B
ns2 - on machine C

So machine C will be ns2 of A and B.
The tip is: the machine C has no DirectAdmin installed.

Big thanks for reply!!!!
 
Leave out machine C, since it's not getting updated information. If some of your registered domains still use it as a nameserver, then you may have to keep it updated manually or with Master2Slave DNS Replicator, as discussed on these forums.

Do both your machines use the same domain for their ns1 and ns2 nameservers?

Or do they use different domains. That's required information for help in setting them up.
