Hello, we have a user which is also a reseller, due to his need to host many DNS zones not hosted on CPanel, but which he owns and which cpanel DNS is serving. He has upwards of 100 zones, configured to point to external IPs.
We are in the process of moving this account to another CPanel server, and tried to transfer account, which seems to work fine aside from one big glitch for us. The script automatically searches for ips and replaces them with the new ip for the new cpanel server.
This means we would have to either:
a) backup all zones listed by this user, and restore them after the script does it's work
b) find a way to bypass this DNS modification, so it copies the zones, but not searches for an replaces the ips
c) do the transfer manually, less practical as I don't know the internals of cpanel by heart and would surely miss some steps
a) could be a long process but could work, b) saves the most time, and c) well frankly, it doesn't seem like a logical choice seeing that a transfer utility just exists.
I'm trying to figure out if I can just "comment out" the parts that do the dns changes on the restoring server, but so far, not much luck. I'm not an expert scripter so I'd appreciate if someone could help a bit and point me towards the right direction!
Thanks all!
