I recently changed from external to internal DNS and I recognised, that the DNS is configured quite strange.
I was expecting, that I update all domains' ns-record with the new ns IPs and that's it. However, I need to update each domain to ns1.<domain.tld> and ns2.<domain.tld> with the corresponding IPs where the website is running on (i. e. not the server Base IP).
Example:
Code
- dig <domain.tld> SOA
- ; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> <domain.tld> SOA
- ;; global options: +cmd
- ;; Got answer:

It would be a great enhancement, to have all DNS records like nsX.base-domain.tld or a freely chosen domain name.
The current behavior in i-MSCP comes from VHCS implementation.... Each domain name must currently have its own glue records which is a mess (and also pose many problem such as reverse DNS)... This will be fixed in later version. Right now, the workaround is to override default templates with event listeners.
