Do I need all these records on my nameserver domain with ispconfig?

Hello,

So I set this up years ago running my own nameservers and it still works on godaddy. I just setup ispconfig again with the auto script on debian. Mail and everything is working well but I'd like to clean up this godaddy dns.

I think a lot of it is probably unnecessary now. Just various years of frustrated troubleshooting while enjoying ispconfig.

I think besides maybe the following below, everything else just gets handled by ispconfigs dns panel right? I mean ideally that's what I'd like. I've added this domain.com to the ispconfig zone of course as well. So

These A records make sense to me. But would you put all those cnames on the godaddy panel or in the ispconfig dns?

@ ipaddy
ns1 ipaddy
ns2 ipaddy
server1 ipaddy


Do I need all these other records. I'm following the debian automated vanilla here. Like literally server1.domain.com and the ns1 and ns2 work great for other domains like I said. I do most of my dns edits on ispconfig and hardly ever look at this.

The messy ns domain settings in godaddy I'd like to cleanup or reduce to just what I need.

Anyway thanks, I'm sure TIL will just shake his head when he see's me back here asking DNS questions again. It's been like over 10 years and he still doesn't get it!

 

If GoDaddy runs your name service, you can not use ISPConfig Panel to manage name service.
If you want to stop using GoDaddy and run your own name servers, then follow DNS tutorial, link in my signature.
You do need NS records in each name service domain.

 

plus it looks like the domain you're using for the servers is domaincontrol.com,
your domain controllers are listed in that zone as ns29 and ns30 but you have A records for ns1 and ns2???

 

So, I know this is super weird. There was at one point on godaddy 100 years ago, a way to do glue records and a panel that they have since removed that I originally set this domain up on. I'm wondering if that's why things sort of work at all.

I'll probably setup dns with ispconfig here following that guide. I think that's exactly what I was looking for.

 

So I think I can get away with something like this with their "hostname" feature which is what they are calling glue records now?

I think that makes sense at least.

 

Okay this is working how I expected at least. I have another question now but I'll start a new thread because it's related to dnssec.
