Question
Does Plesk support glue records?
Answer
Yes. Glue records can be added in Plesk at Domains > example.com > Hosting & DNS > DNS.
It is obligatory to create glue records in case NS record is located in domain's zone. For example, if domain example.com has NS record ns1.example.com, A record for ns1.example.com must be defined. The following pair of records are known as glue:
CONFIG_TEXT: HOST RECORD TYPE VALUE
example.com NS ns1.example.com
ns1.example.com A 203.0.113.2

Can you please show to achieve this using the web interface?
That's...not a glue record... Glue is normally provided at the registrar to avoid the circular reference:
...so ns.example.com can be used when one does not yet know how to resolve example.com records.
I'm working out how to use DNS on Plesk without BIND and the DNS Slave plugin, and it seems one needs to use another hostname at the registrar, or maybe not use the Windows Plesk to manage DNS, and move that function to a Linux server.
