    Hello,
    everything works regarding adding new master and slave zones on my multi-server environment.
    I would like to simplify adding secondary zones for clients.
    Right now there are three fields under "Add Secondary DNS Zone" section in clients control panel:
    1. DNS-Zone: (Input filed which is obviously mandatory)
    2. NS (IP-address):
    3. Allow zone transfers to these IPs (comma separated list):
    Fields 2. and 3. are input fields with selectable suggestions. Adding secondary zone works fine ONLY when I select or input IP address of master DNS server.
    I would really like to simplify adding secondary zones for clients in a way to remove fields 2. and 3. or to change field 2. to grayed-out label (with value of IP address of master server). I think that giving ability to clients to choose or input values into those fields can be confusing and can cause
    unnecessary uncertainty during creating secondary zones?
    Is there a way to accomplish this?
    Best regards, Enes

    I would just not allow clients to make DNS records. They just mess it up anyway and I have to repair.
    If you want to do that, have you tried making a suitable DNS template and force client to use that?

    Hello,
    thank you for your reply.
    My question is not about creating DNS records, but about creating DNS zones and finding way to simplify this process for clients.

    Nevertheless, I still suggest examining a suitable DNS template and forcing clients to use it.
