How to setup DirectAdmin DNS (like cPanel DNS-Only)

Asim

Test driving DirectAdmin, pretty new to this although have been using cPanel for more than a decade now

How do you setup a DNS cluster like cPanel DNS-Only for DirectAdmin?

All I see is that you have to have two DA nodes to interlink and then advertise one as NS1 and the second as NS2

Any help/link is much appreciated

Hey man,
DA personal licenses + Multi server setups. Simply enable zone transfer and leave everything else as unchecked

thanks for the tip @seriesn , does a personal license allow multiple zones to be hosted? unsure if there is a limit there (because there is a limit on domains)

To answer your question, yes a personal licence allows unlimited DNS records but limits domains. Cheaper method might be getting a server with Inception Hosting, BuyVM or another provider who offers DA for free.

As of now, it does support unlimited* zone.

$24/year for the license is not too bad.
