Hi i wrote a bug report, because i could not create a subserver with it's DNS entries in the parent domain zone file.
Jamie told me, this is not a bug: its only possible to use the feature "Add sub-domain DNS records to parent domain?" (in Subserver Template) together with sub-domains. The use of subdomains is depreatched (Joe wrote in this forum) and isn't enabled by default.
So my question:
Is it possible or planned to have the possibility to write DNS entries for subservers also in the parent zone file? Something like this:
TopLevel Server Domain: foo.com Zone File: foo.com.hosts Subserver : sub.foo.com Zone File: : foo.com.hosts
I need this feature because my third party Secondary DNS doesn't accept notify for Subzones.
Thank's and best regards Steve
I'll second this request. Having sub-server DNS in separate files makes slave DNS a much bigger job. Most slave DNS services charge per slave as well.
Right now I have resorted to manually adding the sub-server DNS entries to the parent, and telling Virtualmin to not create them.
Can someone actually explain what the "Add sub-domain DNS records to parent domain?" setting does? It is only enabled when one has "Add SPF DNS record?" set to Yes, which I can't make any sense of.
What do SPF records have to do with where sub-domain DNS records are located?
It seems like this feature is not working right, or maybe I just don't get it.
Thanks.
@markedwards: I was wondering the same thing. Creating sub-server wasn't working until I checked "Add sub-domain DNS records to parent domain?" option.
I posted a solution that worked for me at: https://www.virtualmin.com/node/9546
