What is your setup "Nameservers"

[Erida79]

Can't seem to find the solution i need, so i want to ask what type of setup other DA users use.

The new setup i'm building :

I have 8 directadmin servers
I have 2 Powerdns servers

All the domains will point to the 2 nameservers

My customer would like that his customers can use the dns control in directadmin to edit records.
My customer would like that on the master powerdns server he self can edit records in one panel (later on i will use his customer panel as a frontend for pdns)

If a customer is editting his records in DA i can zone transfer to Pdns.
If i edit a record in pdns how will this transfer back to DA?

Another setup could be to use 2 DA servers as nameservers but my customer would later on like to use his customer panel to edit dns records.

I'm very interested in what type of setup other users have with multiple directadmin hosting servers and external nameservers.

Use axfr to transfer back to directadmin. When you add a domain in directadmin it automatically creates a zone file no matter if the dns is hosted there or not.

Years ago I had Master2Slave DNS Replicator written to solve just this problem; it creates a method for telling two or more slave nameservers to use AXFR to get domain information from the DirectAdmin servers, which are used as hidden masters, and the two slave nameservers are authoritative servers.

It was written to use BIND nameservers as slaves, and I don't believe it can easily be used with any others.

The gent who wrote it for me disappeared years ago and so I no longer maintain it.

You can search for it in these forums if you want information on where to get it or ow it works; perhaps it will help you come up with your own solution.

You can also consider DirectAdmin's Multi-Server Option with the third-party Direct-Slave product (search these forums) to still use separate servers as slaves, but I believe this too requires BIND as the slaves.
