manual DNS control question

[kingxerxes]

Hi There,
I have just installed 1.0.7 and have a query about manual DNS control.

New domains are created fine and are given the correct MX records that are specified in the template.

The problem is that if i add a a custom MX record, it does not override the existing one, rather it creates duplicates.

For example:
10 mail.myserver.com [custom]
10 mail.domain.com [from template]
15 mail2.domain.com [from template]

I could just give my custom MX record a higher priority, but i know from experience that mail is often delivered to secondary or tertiary servers in any case, so this would not work.

I have the same problem with A records. For example, i would like to host a domain on ispcp and use the email features, but want to host the website elsewhere (because it is ASP). I can create a manual DNS A record for WWW and the other server IP, but i am still left with the one created from the template.

thanks for the help!

You'll need to edit the templates used to generate the zone data. Do you want this for all domains, or just select ones?

i just want to do it for one, or two, domains.

the majority of the domains i host use the built in mail and web features, but some host them elsewhere.

thanks!

Hmm. That will likely be a bit more difficult as the way the software operates, it uses the same template for every domain. If I get a chance, I'll look into some possible ways to do this.

We still have an open ticket for this. This was never fully implemented.
