Hello,
Can anyone tell me what are the exact steps to create and add a new cpanel DNS-Only server to an existing cpanel DNS Cluster?
(We have 2 existing DNS-Only servers, and want to add a 3rd but it's been many years since we did this.)

Can anyone tell me what are the exact steps to create and add a new cpanel DNS-Only server to an existing cpanel DNS Cluster?
(We have 2 existing DNS-Only servers, and want to add a 3rd but it's been many years since we did this.)
Here is what I have:
- Build new cpanel server using DNS-Only. (Let's call it "NewNameserver".)
- Login as root to WHM on NewNameserver and click the Home »Clusters »DNS Cluster link.
- Click the "Enable DNS Clustering" button.
- Ffor EACH web hosting server:
- Login as root to WHM on the web hosting server and click the Home »Clusters »DNS Cluster link.
- Click the "Configure" button under the "Add a new server to the cluster" section.
- Enter the hostname for NewNameserver, root username, and root access hash.
- Check the "Setup Reverse Trust Relationship" box.
- For DNS Role, choose the Synchronize Changes option.
- Click the Submit button.
- Go to step #4 and repeat for every web hosting server.
QUESTIONS:
- Should we be using "Write-only" as the DNS Role instead of Synchronize Changes?
- How do we get all the zonefiles from the existing two DNS-Only servers to copy over to the NewNameserver so all three DNS-Only servers will be serving the same zonefiles?
