    Default SPF Question

    I have added an SPF record for somedomain.tld on our main CPanel Server. Cpanel reports that this will not work as the Cpanel is not authoritive for the somedomain.tld.

    I believe that it will work, as our system is clustered such that the main Cpanel server sends changes too both of our authoritive DNS Only servers.

    Am I correct, and if so can WHM Cpanel be altered|configured (next upgrade) to see if it is connected via DNS Clustering to the authoritative name servers.

    Regards

    Default Error in WHM spf record creation

    WHM, creates records for an additional specified host in the form:

    a mx a:111.11.111.11 ?all

    I believe it should be:

    a mx ip4:111.11.111.11 ?all

    Hope this helps .. Please fix

    Default More info

    I have discovered, that after a stop|start of named the error message dissappears.

    It would appear that while cpanel is transfering the zone file to the clustered, it does not use rndc to reload the domain.
