I modified the example PHP script for the Plesk API enough that I think it SHOULD be working to create an A-Record DNS, however whenever I run the script it simply times out after about 2-3 minutes. The Parallels Development forums seem to be a ghost town, so I am hoping maybe someone here might be able to spot the issue.
