Looking for this interface?

Note:

Your hosting provider can enable or disable this interface for resellers in WHM's Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges interface (WHM >> Home >> Resellers >> Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges).

Overview

The Nameserver Record Report interface lists the server’s nameserver information.

Note:

The displayed data updates nightly. If you need to force an update, run the /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updatenameserverips script.

The interface lists information in the following columns:

Nameserver — The name of your system’s authoritative nameserver.
IP Addresses — Your nameserver’s IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Warning:

Due to networking requirements, you cannot run an IPv6-only cPanel & WHM server. You must have at least one IPv4 address.
Zones — The number of DNS zones that the nameserver hosts.

Note:

You must properly configure the DNS entry for the nameserver’s hostname before the report can accurately supply the nameserver’s IP address information.
Actions — The actions that you can perform for each of your system’s nameservers. When you click Edit Zones, the DNS Zone Manager interface (WHM » Home » DNS Functions » DNS Zone Manager) will appear.

Note:

This information does not always reflect the status of your server’s functional and in-use nameservers or domains. This report returns information based on the server’s local DNS zones, as well as localhost lookups of those records.
