DNS Cluster Questions
Well I have done quite a bit of reading and searching regarding the DNSOnly cluster setup but still have a few questions.
Currently I have 3 DNSOnly servers setup as per the documentation. But I am still unclear as to if I need to enable clustering on each DNSonly server and if so what should I set each one as (write only, stand-alone)? Do I need to add the other DNSonly cluster servers to each other?
Right now I have clustering disabled on the DNSonly servers. On the actual shared hosting server Clustering is enabled and reverse trust setup for all 3 of the DNSonly servers (write only).
Not sure this is entirely correct or optimal so any input is appreciated.

Hello :) No additional configuration is required, however you can choose to enable clustering on the DNS-Only servers and select "Standalone" as the role. This document may also help: https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/dnsonly/guide-to-dns-cluster-configurations/Thank you.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the quick help. Yes I have that article memorized already :) What additional benefit would be gained from enabling clustering on the DNSonly servers in standalone mode? 0 -

It allows you to visibly see which cPanel servers are linking to that particular DNS-Only server. However, it's typically reserved for situations where you are not using a direct link configuration (e.g. DNS-Only syncs to another server). The current configuration you have in-place is suitable. Thank you.0 -
