DNS Creator is a utility that re-creates DNS data to new DNS servers. Use this utility to republish DNS data to a different box or add an extra DNS server.

To create DNS:
  1. Log into your control panel server as root:
    su -
  2. Switch to the cpanel user:
    su -l cpanel
  3. Run DNS Creator:
    java psoft.hsphere.tools.DNSCreator -m creation_method [-dz] [-z zonename]
    -m   creation method. Possible values: db or rand
      db   pick NS servers as they are defined in the H-Sphere database
      rand   pick NS servers randomly
    -dz   delete zones first. Add this option only if such zones already exist. With this option, DNS creation will take at least twice more time
    -z   recreate only one specified zone. Without this option, all zones will be recreated.

Note: If you are adding an extra DNS server, specify -m rand or else this new DNS server will be available only for new signups.

Please be patient. If you have hundreds of domains, this utility might take hours to execute.
