[Plesk 11.5] Proper DNS Setup for Domains
Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2014 1:41 pm
We have our nameservers set up through our registrar.
I'm trying to figure out what the best practices are for setting up DNS for domains on our server with Plesk.
There are two types of situations we deal with:
1. Domains that have their DNS simply point their A record to our IP. In this situation we simply turn off DNS for the domain.
2. Domains that point to our nameservers and use our mail server. In this case, we use this template:
Is this right? Do I even need some of those A records?
Code: Select all
ns1.serverdomain.com 184.***.***.1
ns3.serverdomain.com 184.***.***.2
ns3.serverdomain.com 184.***.***.3

clientdomain.com. NS ns1.serverdomain.com.
clientdomain.com. NS ns2.serverdomain.com.
clientdomain.com. NS ns3.serverdomain.com.
clientdomain.com. A 184.***.***.1
clientdomain.com. MX (10) mail.clientdomain.com.
ftp.clientdomain.com. CNAME clientdomain.com.
ipv4.clientdomain.com. A 184.***.***.1
mail.clientdomain.com. A 184.***.***.1
ns1.clientdomain.com. A 184.***.***.1
ns2.clientdomain.com. A 184.***.***.1
ns3.clientdomain.com. A 184.***.***.1
webmail.clientdomain.com. A 184.***.***.1
www.clientdomain.com. CNAME clientdomain.com.
