create DNS zone manually

Hello,
The perfect server Debian 10, apache.
For whatever reason, creating PTR record broke, no idea why but it could have happened through some updates.
Now, we manage to add a zone and edit the file /etc/bind/named.conf.local
Until here no issue, but once you edit any DNS zone by any means, it seems that ISPconfig edits the file /etc/bind/named.conf.local and remove the addition we have done for the PTR.
Is there a way to avoid editing the file so we avoid any interruptions.
Thanks,

 

ispconfig stores the zones in this file. either your add your "manual" zone to ispconfig or move the settings for this zone to a new file and include the new file in bind (/etc/bind/named.conf)

 

Thanks a million Florian,
1- Created /etc/bind/named.conf.custom and added the zone that has been done outside of ISPCONFIG panel.
2- Added /etc/bind/named.conf.custom to a new include line in /etc/bind/named.conf
3- ReSync ISPconfig3, the zone got deleted from the as originally explained but my custom link stayed solid.

 

Hi Till,
I am not sure what is happening but the zone is correct as the manually added one but for some reason it gets marked by err at the end. The interesting point is that it used to work. It seems that ISPConfig3 is applying some checks and if it does not match the expected result, it marks it as err.
Here is the situation.
We own our IPs from Arin and we are authorized to issue a PTR from Datacenter provider.

Code:

;
; BIND reverse data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL    604800
@       IN      SOA     authorithation.dns.datacenter.com. support.domain.tld. (
                        200            ; Serial
                        7200           ; Refresh
                        540            ; Retry
                        604800         ; Expire
                        3600 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
;
x.y.z.in-addr.arpa.      NS        authorithation.dns.datacenter.com.
w     IN      PTR     s3.clientdomain.tld.

"w" is the last octat of the IP
the IP we are authorizing up is "z.y.x.w"
Kindly let us know if we should add it as a bug.
Thanks for the great support,

 

Thanks for the quick response,
I am more confused now as there is no error.

Code:

named-checkzone x.y.z.in-addr.arpa pri.authorithation.dns.datacenter.com.err
zone x.y.z.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 2019122010
OK

It seems OK, not sure why it considers this as an error?

 

Hi Again Till,
Although I can restart the DNS zone when I do the file manually but the log is showing that it is failing. Not sure if I am reading the log correctly. In any case here you are.

Code:

Thanks for the great support

 

Thanks Till, I agree with your analysis but how do you explain when you run name check againest the file ends with err it returns OK?
Why it works and resolve properly when I created the file manually?
It is a mystery that I cannot explain.
Cheers,
