Specifying the name servers for a domain

A name server is a host that translates the text name of a domain into the numeric IP address of that domain. Ensim Pro is bundled with the BIND service, which enables an Ensim Pro server to act as a name server. By default, your Ensim Pro server is set as the master name server. You can update this setting when you create a domain.

To configure or update the name server settings:

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 name of the master server.

4. In the Slaves field (DNS section), enter the name of the slave server. If you want to specify multiple slave name servers, enter each name on a new line.

You can configure Ensim Pro to function as one of the following name servers for a domain.

- Master name server

- Slave name server

- Forward name server
