Tertiary Name Server

Hi,

There is no field for a tertiary name server under DNS manager for an individual domain. I have a third nameserver now that I wish to use, is it possible to add a new field or do I just need to manually edit the individual zone files?

Thanks and regards

Matt

 

perfect, just what I need, thanks Till.

 

Till,

Where abouts in the pri.domain.master template file can I add the third nameserver?

I tried adding it at the end of file where it says make manual entries after this line and that didnt work, I then added it after

NS {DNS_NS2}. ; Inet Address of name server 2

I added the following
NS ns3.example.com ; Inet Address of name server 3


but that also doesnt work

I used nslookup to check and it only returned two name servers

[root@hosting ~]# nslookup
> set q=ns
> rrgroup.com.au
Server: 203.89.212.186
Address: 203.89.212.186#53

rrgroup.com.au nameserver = ns1.example.com
rrgroup.com.au nameserver = ns2.example.com

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

 

ok, I see by 'hardcoding' the pri.domain.master template file any new domains created will have the third name server in their zone file. This is excactly what I was hoping for....however now when I do an nslookup, three name servers are returned but the third nameserver (the one hard coded) has the domain appended to the end of it! (see below)...

[root@hosting ~]# nslookup
> set q=ns
> testdomain.com
Server: 203.89.212.186
Address: 203.89.212.186#53


testdomain.com nameserver = ns1.dns_server.info.
testdomain.com nameserver = ns2.dns_server.info.
testdomain.com nameserver = ns3.dns_server.info.testdomain.com.

The zone file looks exactly how it should be

NS ns1.dns_server.info. ; Inet Address of name server 1
NS ns2.dns_server.info. ; Inet Address of name server 2
NS ns3.dns_server.info ; Inet Address of name server 3

Any help would be appreciated,

Regards

thanks Till,

I had the record in the correct place, just forgot the dot!

That is the problem with ISPConfig, it makes updating and creating DNS records soooo easy, you can forget the basics!
