franco Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Specifically for eNom. What does it do? My guess would be it edits the records for the domain on eNom's DNSs, but shouldn't that option then disable the manual input of DNS? If you set your own DNS my guess would be you are on your own. What if I want to enable management on my DNSs, not eNom's? Is there any documentation about this feature? I searched for a while and found nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franco Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 I actually made it work, but I still think it should be disabled if eNom name servers are not set up. Even if you make both available, user can set his own name servers and the feature would still be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 it cant be simply based on whether the nameservers are the same *names* as te enom ones, as it's possible to alias them, create custome nameservers with the same IPs, or even slave off certain zones ... as it stands, unless you use the enom nameservers for everything, it's probably best just to turn that feature off, hopefully a future version on WHMCS wil "modularise" the DNS option, so it can custom handled how we want ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franco Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 On enom's menu there's a radio that disable all features if is not set to "our servers"... but on WHMCS, instead of seeing it like this, we see the dns names, no radio, and no Disabling the features, wich would be just fine, because there's no way you can handle all name servers, but it's wrong to just show the features as if they'd work when they don't. And it feels wrong to just add a reminder "this won't work unless NS are set as... " or I'm just gonna put a javascript wich disables some buttons if NSs aren't the default ones, but is an ugly solution. I'm also curious about what register NS does. My guess was it just added a host record for the name server. But I don't think that's what it does, since the Manage DNS reads all host records apparently (even those you set up as mail forwarding), and this NSs do not appear. In the eNom's API Command Catalog still clears nothing about this feature for me, asuming it's using the RegisterNameServer command. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Registering Nameservers has nothing to do with content of a DNS zone file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franco Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Well, if you enter ns1.domain.com then de NS wich manages domain.com needs to have an entry for ns1. It has something to do with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckdragon Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 true, but if you are entering your own custom name servers, it's automatically assumed (by every registrar I've seen) that you know enough to put the required entry in to the zone file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
