How-To:

• Add a DNS Listening Server
• Delete a DNS Listening Server

• At least two InterWorx Control Panel servers

The purpose of this how-to is to walk you through the process of setting up one InterWorx Control Panel server to listen and publish DNS Zones for another InterWorx Control Panel server.

1. Click the NodeWorx menu item if it is not already open.
2. Click the API Key menu item.
3. If an API Key is not already displayed, click the Generate button.
4. Copy the API key text blob to your local clipboard as you will need the copied API key for the next step.
5. Proceed to the Add DNS Listening Server step.

1. Click the System Services menu item if it is not already open.
2. Click the DNS Server menu item if it is not already open.
3. Click the Synchronization menu item.
4. Enter the hostname or IP address of the InterWorx Control Panel server that will be Listening to and publishing this server's DNS Zones in the hostname field.
5. Enter the API key from the previous procedure into the API Key field.
6. It is recommended that you test your setup using the Test button. Doing a pre-addition test weeds out 90% of Node addition errors that can occur.
7. After a successful test run (denoted by the message: DNS host passed all pre DNS-sync tests : hostname) press the Add button to complete the DNS Listener addition.
8. The add will return with either: Node added successfully or an error regarding what happened.
