Convert Existing Named to NSD
cPanel version 11.24 includes NSD integration.
NSD is a lightweight, fast alternative to BIND. It may be ideal for low-memory VPSes.
Be sure to review the official cPanel NSD Integration notes.
Note: NSD is an authoritative-only Nameserver. BIND also includes caching/resolution services.
You should be sure that the file /etc/resolv.conf does not contain 127.0.0.1 or your server IP addresses
before proceeding with this. If it does, please contact Tech Support to have that updated on your VPS
system (most VPSes will be configured to use an ASO caching server and OpenDNS in /etc/resolv.conf).
Command line conversion:
1. Login to your VPS as root using SSH.
2 Run this command:
/scripts/setupnameserver nsd
The conversion should run in the background.
Conversion using the GUI/WHM Interface
1. Login to Web Host Manager
2. Select Service Configuration -> Nameserver Selection
3. Select NSD and click Save at the bottom.
