Using the Ensim Pro DNS server as a master name server

Quick-start Guide: Home 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

When you create a domain configuring Ensim Pro as the master name server, Ensim Pro automatically creates the master zone and related zone records for the domain on the master name server.

Assuming that you want to configure the Ensim Pro server s1.isp.net as the master name server for a domain named myfirstcustomer.com, perform the following steps:

1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page
   , click Add IP-based Site or Add Name-based Site (Sites section).

2. On the Add Site form, click Advanced.

3. In the Master field (DNS section), enter the host name of the Ensim Pro server s1.isp.net.

4. In the Slave field (DNS section), enter the host name of the server you want to assign as a slave server. This can be another server running Ensim Pro or any external server running a DNS service. If you want to specify multiple slave servers, specify each name on a new line. If you do not want to specify a slave server for the domain, leave the field blank.

5. Provide the other details in the form and click Add Site.

Ensim Pro automatically creates the master zone myfirstcustomer.com and zone records for the domain. To verify, click Zones (DNS) in the shortcuts section of the Home page.

- Note: If you have specified one or more slave servers during domain creation, Ensim Pro allows the slave zones to obtain updates from the master server. However, Ensim Pro cannot verify that slave zones for the domain are created on the slave servers. You must manually create a slave zone for the domain on the slave servers. You can do this before or after you create the domain.
