cPanel DNSOnly cluster

Gastón
I'm migrating part of my shared hosting to a CPanel Platform And I want to understand something. I plan to have several Servers running CPANEL (Lets call them Servers A,B and C) and 2 DNS configured separately in cluster (DNS X and Y) because will no only serve CPanel created domains. After create X-Y DNS Cluster, how do I Configure the Servers A B and C to agregate the accounts domains to the DNS ? They have to belong also to the cluster ? Regards.

    You can directly link each web server to the DNS-Only servers. There's a guide on how to do this at: Guide to DNS Cluster Configurations - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Thanks!

    Hello, I am an in a similar crossroads My current VPS provider only gives me 1 IP per VPS so I am thinking of creating a DNS cluster as in the picture attached at - Removed - however I was wondering if a single DNS server using the DNS Only version can have several hostnames at the same time and work along with several DNS servers.

    Hello, Could you provide some more information about this configuration? For instance, would the additional DNS servers utilize cPanel and/or cPanel DNS-Only? Thank you.

    A single DNS server can have multiple nameserver names attached to it, you just need to make sure those subdomains are set up with your domain registrar and pointed to the server. I'm sure of course you're aware that this is just a vanity configuration - if all of your nameservers are on the same box and that box goes down, so does your DNS.

    Yes, we plan to use only CPanel servers for this setup. BTW, I am attached the picture deleted in previous post in case you missed it.

    I advise using direct links instead, like the example at: Guide to DNS Cluster Configurations - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation We do not recommend that you set up the nameserver to synchronize data to a web server, because this creates extraneous zones on the web server. This means that you do not need to log in to WHM on the nameserver and set the web server's DNS role to Synchronize changes. Thank you.
