Does anyone have .com.au (Australian domain name) on a PSA server?

What do you do on the DNS zone to host .com.au?

Okay, let's say you host domain.com and your name servers are ns.blah.com and ns1.blah.com

When you setup the DNS in Plesk, the DNS settings only, looks like this:

domain.com NS ns.domain.com
ns.domain.com A 123.123.123.123

Correct? Delete those entries.

Now using the "add NS" function, add:

ns.blah.com
and then
ns1.blah.com

Then, once done, add the domain to your secondary server.


The above is for version 1.3.1 using the default setup.

If you are using PSA 2.0, edit the DNS template within the server section to setup the DNS correctly for a domain in the future.

Do you mean remove the to lines below?

domain.com.au NS ns.domain.com.au
ns.domain.com.au A 123.123.123.123

Add these 4 lines to the dns zone?

domain.com.au NS ns.blah.com
ns.blah.com A 123.123.123.123

domain.com.au NS ns2.blah.com
ns2.blah.com A 123.123.123.123

If I do this I will have/add (2) NS & (2) A to the dns zone.
Is this how ir suppose to be?

How do I add the domain to your secondary server?

Thanks.

Yes, remove those 2 lines.

And add these TWO lines to the dns zone:

domain.com.au NS ns.blah.com
domain.com.au NS ns2.blah.com


Do not add/create A records.


:confused: What are you using for a secondary server? Don't you have one? Are you going to be using the same server to setup the secondary DNS? I don't recommend it.

Yes, both primary and secondary, are on the same server.

I removed these two:

domain.com.au NS ns.domain.com.au
ns.domain.com.au A 123.123.123.123

and added these two:

domain.com.au NS ns.blah.com
domain.com.au NS ns2.blah.com

Now the dns zone only have (1) A left which is pointing the domain name to the account's IP address (static/dedicated IP).

Now, should I go ahead and request the ".com.au" registrar to delegate the .com.au domain name on to the server? Or do I still need to do something?

Have you added the domain to the secondary server yet? I'm not too sure how you've set the secondary up on the primary. Are you using webmin to manage the secondary?

Only once you've accomplished the above can you delegate the domain.

I created (2) nameservers.
However, I just have (1) primary server.

Dylan,

Thank you for your help.

I followed your instruction, and it worked.

Oh man, I'm surprised because the way I think you have your secondary setup I wouldn't think .com.au would accept it.

You don't actually crate secondary records, do you, as you've got the secondary forwarding to the primary type of thing, correct?
