DNS Cluster - unexpected sync between web hosts
-
Hey there! It sounds like you have everything configured properly on all the machines, so I wouldn't expect that to happen. However, instead of "sync" you could use "write only" to ensure things only get moved in one direction. If you'd like us to take a look, this issue would likely be better addressed through a ticket so we can see the configuration of all the moving parts at once. 0 -
Hi cPRex, I did a lot more investigation and came to the conclusion that some dns functions in WMH do not just look at the local name.conf file for local zones but rather seem to be grabbing a list of the zones off the cluster. I didn't delve into code to prove this though. It was most apparent with web server 2 (the new one) as some DNS management pages show 200+ domains (eg DNS zone manager) and others showed 2 - the host had 2 zones in the named.conf. The pages showing 200+ let me do what I wanted to the other hosts domains & those changes did flow back up to the other host (in theory not possible with a sync<->standalone setup) I trialed some different scenarios and ended up deciding that it wasn't for me and have moved to 'write only' mode and now each server can only see its own zones which I am happy with. I noticed a subtly on this page that I think needs to be made clearer 0 -
I'm glad you found a workable solution. I believe if the issue you experienced didn't happen, those zones wouldn't show up, which would make that toggle you mention useless, if I'm understanding the situation correctly. It still might be worth submitting a ticket to our team if you'd like to us to research why this happened. 0
