Managing zones

The Manage DNS Zones option enables you to effortlessly migrate or update zone information on the Ensim Pro DNS server.

- Note: If you are not using Ensim Pro as your DNS name server, you do not need to do anything with the DNS settings of Ensim Pro; the settings shown in the DNS section of the Appliance Administrator GUI are not used. For more information, see:

  Using Ensim Pro as a DNS server

If you are using Ensim Pro as a DNS server, you may want to update the Ensim Pro DNS server with the records and SOA settings of existing zones, if you have:

- Upgraded your control panel from Ensim Basic to Ensim Pro

- Migrated from an external DNS server to the Ensim Pro DNS server

- Changed the existing settings for a DNS zone and committed the update to the Ensim Pro DNS server

To update the Ensim Pro DNS server:

1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page
   , click Zones (DNS section). The DNS page opens.

2. Click Enable DNS on Sites. The Enable DNS on Sites form opens listing all the sites for which you can update zone information.

3. Select all sites by selecting the Select/Deselect all zones check box, or select individual sites by selecting the check box corresponding to the site.

4. Click Update DNS.

The Ensim Pro DNS server is updated with the zone information of the selected sites.
