Hi, guys,

I am wondering how do you guys manage dns servers for DirectAdmin, it's easy to setup dns servers for only one DA, but what if I have multiple DA servers, do I have to setup nameservers for every DA server? Let say ns1 and ns2 for the first DA server, and then ns3 and ns4 for the second DA server. Is there any way i can manage dns records from a central server and compatible with cpanel, directadmin, solusvm and other control panel softwares?

Any help will be appreciated...

I don't understand what you're asking. Can you rephrase what you said, please?

For cPanel you can set up DNS only server which will allow you to host DNS records on one server and use it for the main server where websites are hosted.

About your question: WHM -> Cluster/Remote access -> Configure Cluster.

With DirectAdmin its called Multi Server Setup. It allows you to sync with another DirectAdmin server.

cPanel DNS ONLY is software that allows you to run a dedicated physical nameserver. It should only be installed on nameservers with no previous content on them. You can download the cPanel DNS ONLY software from http://layer1.cpanel.net/cpanel-dnsonly-install.sea

Let say if I have all my DA servers setup with cluster feature, can I just only use 2 dns servers(ns1 and ns2) for the whole cluster?

Thanks.
