Catch-all DNS zone in cPanel

[jmginer]

Hello, I want to configure my Named as a catch-all,
This is to redirect domains that do not have a DNS zone to a parking page,
like this: Wildcard DNS zone in bind – ServerOK

zone "." IN {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/catch-all.zone";
};

I thought about doing it with an include:

include "/etc/named/catch-all.conf";

But in which file can I add it having the security that cPanel will not overwrite it after an update and that it does not conflict with other configurations?

Thanks!

Hey there! The easiest way would be to just use the WHM >> Add a DNS Zone to create a zone that isn't associated with a specific cPanel account. That zone will just be owned by the root user directly.

Hello, unfortunately that's not an option, since I don't know what the domains are.

The purpose of a DNS catch-all is to have a parking page (A record) for domains that have been created with our DNS and do not yet have a DNS zone created.

Check this link: Wildcard DNS zone in bind – ServerOK

I guess I don't understand why creating a zone wouldn't work? In the link you provided, you still have to create the zone file, and I was able to create a zone with "catch-all.zone" with no issues on a test machine. Can you try that?

catch-all.zone is not a domain

I don't disagree, but that was the domain provided in the instructions you sent, and I just confirmed that creating it worked properly. Were you not able to create that zone?

You know what is a catch-all dns zone?
Please, re-read my first post.

It's possible to create a catch-all dns zone in cPanel?

Thanks!

By default, no, there is not a way to do this within the cPanel system.
