How to create a DNS record
How to create a DNS record
- Configure the Zone for the SOA record.
- Primary Server Name: Name for the primary server. You will need this name when creating the NS record of your domain. If you use '@', this means the server name is exactly the same as the domain name. Make sure to add a '.' at the end of the name if you would like to name it with a different domain name, such as in 'example.com.'. If there is no '.' at the end, our server will append the domain name automatically as the server name.
- Responsible Mail: Use '.' to replace the '@' for the email address. If there is no ‘.’ at the end of the mail, the DNS server will automatically append the domain name. For example, an input of 'dns_admin' would be automatically interpreted as 'dns_admin@sub.example.com'. Be sure to add a '.' at the end of the email address if a different domain name is used (e.g. 'dns_admin.example.com.').
- Configure NS record
- Without '.' at the end of the Hostname: Requires an IP for the sub-domain. DNS will append the domain name automatically.
- With '.' at the end of the Hostname: No IP needed. Usually only used for redirecting to another domain.
- Configure CNAME record
CNAME Alias cannot conflict with any other record in the same domain. Otherwise, the DNS service will fail.- Without '.' at the end of the Target: This means CNAME is within the same domain and the DNS server will append the domain automatically. TTL=-1 indicates use of the same TTL as the Zone configuration.
If there is a valid A record for 'ms.sub.example.com' - Without '.' at the end of the Target: CNAME will redirect to an A record in another domain.
If there is a valid A record for 'mail.sub1.zw120.com' exists, then request from resolver '10.106.156.24'.
