DNS Changes
At Mythic Beasts we’re merging various services together into a single supported service. We’ve just completed migrating all our secondary DNS services into our control panel.
If you were previously using a secondary DNS service from either Mythic Beasts or Black Cat Networks your configuration has been migrated into our control panel. Autodns is now discontinued and the setup must be managed through our control panel or API.
Our control panel DNS applies more stringent checks than autodns. In particular secondary dns for a domain can only be managed by the owner of that domain, so a small number of customers who provided secondary for other customers have seen their configuration duplicated into the accounts of the domain holders.
As part of this work we will shortly be moving ns2.mythic-beasts.com to 93.93.128.67 / 2a00:1098:0:80:1000::10 in time for World IPv6 day. The new server is fully configured and is already attempting to slave zones, please make sure that you’ve configured your DNS master server to allow it to slave. The actual switch is planned for overnight on Monday 30th / Tuesday 31st May.
Shortly after this is complete the existing server which is also ns0.blackcatnetworks.co.uk will be switched off permanently. You should make sure you aren’t using the deprecated address ns0.blackcatnetworks.co.uk.
If you weren’t previously aware, customers of our dedicated server, virtual dedicated server or co-location services can use Mythic Beasts’ nameservers to provide secondary DNS for any domains hosted on your server. Similarly, we will provide free secondary DNS for any domains registered through us, with no restrictions on where the master server is. In either case, contact support to enable secondary DNS for your account.
If you have any questions, we’d be glad to answer them at support @ mythic-beasts.com.
