Custom DNS server

[miloszes]

Hi all.

My client requires me to handle his dns. He would like to transfer a domain to the server at which the ISPCP is installed.

1) does ISPCP handles DNS ?
2) can I configure a MX record to handle different gmail?
3) is it safe?

Sorry if that questions are silly, but I'm just a beginner in the area and didn't find satisfy answers via google.


Kind Regards,
MiloszeS

yes, it would be better that ispCP like ISPConfig all dns records can change.
Now I do with webmin.

anyone know? or the newer versions of ispCP more dns options can change?

It's up to you, it can be done if you comment some lines on the dns template (db_e.tpl), but you will have to recreate them in the database for EVERY domain you have.

it's not exactly what we want.
I actually (db_e.tpl) edited. but with GUI can i not txt or ns records of sfp records find.

i think ispcp gui with the following options would be better
- Multi-templates (when creating a domain template simply a choice option) (eg Template1 = google apps, template2 = local mail server, template3 = no template mail only web etc.)
- In GUI dns records more options.

Go on. You are free to develop it and send it to the dev Team

I have a solution for custom NS records. (based on ispCP 1.05)
I think dev team can improve.


NOTE.
After you customize for each domain you have to create A records and NS records
So there is no longer automatically ns records created.
advantage is that you can yourself edit ns records for each domain.

This will only a tip for dev team.
I do not support on pm. and you are responsible for errors.
before you start. make backup

it works as follows;

Change /etc/ispcp/bind/parts/db_e.tpl and /etc/ispcp/bind/parts/db_master_e.tpl as follows

Code:

$TTL 12H
$ORIGIN {DMN_NAME}.
@               IN              SOA             ns1.{DMN_NAME}. postmaster.{DMN_NAME}. (
; dmn [{DMN_NAME}] timestamp entry BEGIN.
                {TIMESTAMP}     ; Serial
; dmn [{DMN_NAME}] timestamp entry END.
                8H              ; Refresh
                30M             ; Retry
                4W              ; Expire
                3H              ; Minimum TTL
)

{DMN_NAME}.     IN              A               {DMN_IP}
localhost       IN              A               127.0.0.1

; CNAME for VHCS compatibility
ns              IN              CNAME           ns1
; CNAME for mail transfer
; CNAME for web transfer
; sub [{SUB_NAME}] entry BEGIN.
; sub [{SUB_NAME}] entry END.

; dns [{MANUAL_DNS_ID}] entry BEGIN.
; dns [{MANUAL_DNS_ID}] entry END.

Change in /var/www/ispcp/gui/client/dns_edit.php following lines.

I am a new user with ispCP.
I do not know how that works. (ticket & patch )

I am only testing.
but my first impression about ispCP, pretty fun hosting panel.
course with an advanced dns control, will be very nice hosting panel.
