Configuring Parallels Pro Control Panel as a Master Server
To configure Parallels Pro Control Panel as a master server:
- Add your name servers as a local name server using:
'/usr/lib/opcenter/bind/add_local_nameserver
<nameserver>
<ipaddress>'
which creates the following file:
'/etc/virtualhosting/localnameserver'
- Use the local name servers entries for both the master and slave server fields, while adding sites/plans/zones. Else,
- Make the local name server permanent, by creating their entries as master in default plan, before adding new sites.
- After adding a site, you can see the zone configuration in SOA section as Type - Master.
- After adding a site, you can see the created zone/s of newly added sites as Master in the zone type.
Note:
Slave servers are not mandatory, if the local-box is the master server.
Slave servers will get notified, each time there is a change in the zone records of the master server.
You can notify all the slave servers by doing a Refresh action for that masterzone. (rndc refresh
)
