Nameserver Record Report  Print this Article

Overview:

The Nameserver Record Report interface lists the server’s nameserver information.

Note:
The displayed data updates nightly. If you need to force an update, run the /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updatenameserverips script.

Nameserver Record Report

The interface lists information in the following columns:

  • Nameserver — The name of your system’s authoritative nameserver.

  • IP Addresses — Your nameserver’s IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

    Warning:

    Due to networking requirements, you cannot run an IPv6-only cPanel & WHM server. You must have at least one IPv4 address.

     

  • Zones — The number of DNS zones that the nameserver hosts.

    Note:
    You must properly configure the DNS entry for the nameserver’s hostname before the report can accurately supply the nameserver’s IP address information.

     

  • Actions — The actions that you can perform for each of your system’s nameservers. When you click Edit Zones, the DNS Zone Manager interface (WHM >> Home >> DNS Functions >> DNS Zone Manager) will appear.

    Note:

    This information does not always reflect the status of your server’s functional and in-use nameservers or domains. This report returns information based on the server’s local DNS zones, as well as localhost lookups of those records.
