=PROJECT: New Authoritative DNS servers coming in 2024=
 
 
=This page is under development (May 2024)=
 
==Overview==
 
===Basics===
Our Authoritative DNS servers are ''primary-dns.co.uk'' and ''secondary-dns.co.uk''. These are used in the following situations:
*Running DNS for domain names we host for customers
*Running as extra secondary DNS servers (slaves) where our customer runs their own, primary, DNS server(s)
*Delegating Reverse DNS zones to customer's own DNS servers
 
We are working towards having the new servers live during '''September 2024'''
===Customer Impact===
 
===Customer Impact===
 
Below lists the scenarios we perform as DNS servers and how our change will impact our customers.
 
=Specific details=
==Where we are a slave==
===Situation:===
'''Situation:''' Some customers run their own primary DNS serversserver(s) and our 'secondary-dns.co.uk' is a slave server.
 
===Changes:===
Historically we have supported this configuration automatically where the master is a customer's A&A IP address. This hasn't always been successful and has required staff intervention in some cases.
 
This automation will change:
* Automation will be disabled on a set date: '''June 17th 2024'''
* After June 17th, customers needing us to make a change to how we slave from their master will need to email in to support@aa.net.uk
* A new user interface will be created on the Control Pages to allow managing of Domains and their Master IP addresses, but this will not be live until we are fully moved over to the new PowerDNS servers which is likely to be during September 2024
 
==Where we host the DNS for your domain==
* No impact is expected
* A new User Interface for managing DNS will be introduced on our Control Pages.
 
==Reverse DNS==
* No impact is expected
 
==Reverse DNS delegation==
* No impact is expected
