Hello Elizabeta.

For the first issue; It may be most beneficial that you open a support request following this guide such that our technical analysts can look into your issue in detail. If you create a support ticket, then please provide us with the ticket ID as a response to this post such that we may follow up.

Though as for the errors in the log, if this is a DNS Cluster then what may be happening is that a recent push from another cluster that is logging these requests. That can also be reviewed in detail through a ticket if need be.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

I did not receive such a message again yesterday evening.

In log on dns I can see same messages for yesterday evening at the same time like two days ago

, but i did not received the message at same time:
⚠ Root Login from an Unknown Network IP Address (ip address from my cpanel)

Nov 19 22:46:14 dns named[1846]: client @0x7fc5980c6900 (ip address from cpanel)#38020: received notify for zone '..ba'

Nov 19 22:46:13 dns named[1846]: client @0x7fc5980c6900 (ip address from cpanel)#60640: received notify for zone '....com'

Is this normal behavior for DNS cluster?


Best regards,
Elizabeta
