Changing the name of the primary server

If you are using Ensim Pro as a DNS server, you can change the primary name server through the Appliance Administrator control panel.

The Primary name server, as the name implies is the primary authoritative server for the domain. The Primary name server sources data authoritative for the zone from a file called the zone data file.

When you add a zone to the DNS server, you must provide at least two name servers for the zone: a primary name server and a secondary, or backup, name server.

To change the primary DNS server name:

  1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page, click Configuration (DNS section).

  2. On the Configuration: Name Servers form, locate Primary Master and in the Actions column, click Edit. The Primary Master Setting form opens.

  3. In the Primary Master field, do one of the following:

  4. Click Save.

  5. Note: If you are not using Ensim Pro as a DNS server, these settings are not used.
