Bug: Server Template - Nameservers settings will not inherit from default settings properly or override

the issue

I cannot set my nameservers as I want when using a template that is not the Default Settings template because the inheritance is broken

When I make changes and then reset the DNS the reults are all over the place and I have tried to find a pattern and I cannot except they do not work as expected. Sometimes NS records are created and other times only the A records are created.

When resetting the DNS changes might only be triggered if the nameserver values are changed?

One thing for certain is the on the Developer template the option Add NS record for this system always reverts to No as if it was not correctly submitted.

Additional manually configured nameservers doesn't have a separate option to disable inheritance (might of mentioned this in an earlier issue)

I am pretty sure the settings in the Developer template will not override the default settings or what ever is getting read.

• Primary DNS server hostname
• Add NS record for this system
• Create A records for NS entries in server's domain

I have tried messing with the values in the default template and see how they affect the DNS reset.

Can you have a look at this and if you need any further info let me know what you need. Just struggling to fully report this one ☹️

additional

• I was using ns1.${DOM} and ns2.${DOM} as name servers.
• this issue and code might be relevant https://github.com/virtualmin/virtualmin-gpl/issues/730
• The SPF values on the same page might not be getting inherited properly either. I am trying to find my notes to confirm this.

You might want to wait a bit for Virtualmin 7.20.0 or 7.20.1 to come out, as we fixed a several issues in this area..
