    Hi,

    My registrar provides an DNS service per domain with these settings:

    $ORIGIN customerdomain.com.
    $TTL 300
    @ SOA ns1.loopia.se. registry.loopia.se. (
    1427932800
    3H ; Refresh after three hours
    1H ; Retry after one hour
    1W ; Expire after one week
    1D ) ; Minimum one day TTL

    @ IN 3600 NS ns1.loopia.se.
    @ IN 3600 NS ns2.loopia.se.

    @ IN 3600 A MY ISPCONFIGSERVER IP
    @ IN 3600 MX 1 mail

    * IN 3600 A MY ISPCONFIGSERVER IP

    mail IN 3600 A MY ISPCONFIGSERVER IP
    www IN 3600 A MY ISPCONFIGSERVER IP

    and in ISPConfig3 i have disabled the DNS server.

    Now i wonder is it better to have my registrar make an glue connection to my server and manage all DNS records in ISPConfig3 ?

    You can handle your dns with ispconfig and i think, it makes much more sense. But you should use at least two dns-servers. If your registrar also provides a slave-server, you can run one dns on your own server and send the data using bind to the other dns-server(s). But you can also install a 2nd server. ;)
