Does anyone have any experience making a customised packaging modules in “/var/cpanel/lib/Whostmgr/Pkgacct”?

I like the transfer tool particularly for the proxy services it adds to accounts when doing a "live transfer", however there are situations where I don't want it to touch the DNS.

Is there a simple way to have live transfers but without the DNS module running as well?

Hey hey! While I'm sure anything is possible, I don't have any ready-made code available to perform that exact work. If you have custom A records in place, I would not expect Transfer Tool to modify those as part of the process - it would only update the DNS for any default records in place on the system that point to the Source server's IP, changing those to the Destination server's IP.

Hey @cPRex, thanks for the update!

I have evidence that custom A records are in fact replaced with the destination servers IP address when using Live Transfer. The destination however does have the custom, external IP address though if you aren't switching nameservers over to the destination yet, this causes issues.

I'm not really looking for a coded solution, but more advice for how I can disable or turn off the DNS module so the transfer skips using it.

Should I submit a cPanel ticket for it?
