Disabling ‘named’ on the main server

Issue :
Can ‘named’ be removed/disabled on the main server if dedicated DNS servers are being used?

Solution :

As long as the server is not part of a DNS cluster, ‘named’ can be disabled on it.
Also, remove/uncheck it from Service Manager/chkservd to avoid notifications about it being down/offline.

If the server is part of a DNS cluster then in WHM, just go to the Service Configuration section and click on “Nameserver Selection.” Change this setting to “Disabled” then click “Save” at the bottom of the page.
