=PROJECT: New Authoritative DNS servers coming in 2024=
 
 
==Overview==
This page explains our fairly large project to move away from 'BIND' and our 'in-house' authoritative DNSsoftware serversover to 'Power DNS'
 
===Basics===
*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:===
# '''Secondary Automation''' <br>Historically we have supported this configuration automatically where the master is a customer's A&A IP address. This willhasn't change,always andbeen insteadsuccessful weand willhas haverequired astaff userintervention interfacein onsome thecases. Control<br>This Pagesautomation towill allowchange: managing of Domains and Master IP addresses.<br>
#* 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
#'''IP addresses'''
#*The IP address we use for our servers will change<br>This may need customers to update their firewall or ACL configuration to allow our additional IP addresses - these IPs will be announced nearer the time in s separate status post.

* No impact is expected
* A new User Interface for managing DNS will be introduced on our Control Pages.
