Settings | Guidelines |
Name | Unique name. No spaces or special characters. After you initially save the configuration, you cannot edit the name. |
Type | • Master—The configuration contains the “master” copy of data for the zone and is the authoritative server for it. • Forward—The configuration allows you to apply DNS forwarding on a per-domain basis, overriding the forwarding settings in the “general” configuration. |
Domain Name | The domain name must end with a period. For example: example.com. |
Forward Options | |
Forward | • First—The DNS server queries the forwarders list before doing its own DNS lookup. • Only—Only query the forwarders list. Do not perform a DNS lookup. |
Forwarders | The Forward option is only meaningful if the forwarders list is not empty. |
Master Options | |
DNSSEC | Enable/disable DNSSEC. |
DNSSEC Algorithm | Only RSASHA1 is supported. |
TTL | The $TTL directive at the top of the zone file (before the SOA) gives a default TTL for every RR without a specific TTL set. The default is 86,400. The valid range is 0 to 2,147,483,647. |
Responsible Mail | Username of the person responsible for this zone, such as root. |
Primary Server Name | Sets the server name in the SOA record. |
Primary Server Address | The IP address of the primary server. |
KSK Filename | It is generated by the system if DNSSEC is enabled for the zone. To regenerate the KSK, disable DNSSEC and then re-enable DNSSEC. |
KSK | Type characters for a string key. The file is generated by the system if DNSSEC is enabled for the zone. |
ZSK Filename | It is generated by the system if DNSSEC is enabled for the zone. To regenerate the ZSK, disable DNSSEC and then re-enable DNSSEC. |
ZSK | Type characters for a string key. The file is generated by the system if DNSSEC is enabled for the zone. |
DSSET Filename | The file is generated by the system if DNSSEC is enabled for the zone. The file generated by the zone configuration editor is the one you give to any parent zone or the registrar of your domain. The convention is dsset-<domain>, for example dsset-example.com. |
DSSET | It is generated by the system if DNSSEC is enabled for the zone. |
DSSET List | Select a DSset info list configuration object. See“Configuring the DSSET info list”. |
A or AAAA Record | |
Hostname | The hostname part of the FQDN, such as www. |
Source Type | • From Load Balance Pool—Select this option to use the IP address information and weight from configuration objects you have created. See “Configuring the global pool”. • IPv4—Select this option to configure IPv4 address information and weight. • IPv6—Select this option to configure IPv6 address information and weight. |
Load Balance Pool | Select a global pool configuration. |
Weight | Assigns relative preference among members—higher values are more preferred and are assigned connections more frequently. The default is 1. The valid range is 1-255. |
Address | Specify the IP address of the virtual server. |
Method | Weighted Round Robin is the only method supported. |
NS Record | |
Domain Name | The domain for which the name server has authoritative answers, such as example.com. |
Hostname | The hostname part of the FQDN, such as ns. |
Address Type | • IPv4 • IPv6 |
Address | Specify the IP address of the name server. |
CNAME Record | |
Alias | An alias name to another true or canonical domain name (the target). For instance, www.example.com is an alias for example.com. |
Target | The true or canonical domain name. For instance, example.com. |
MX Record | |
Hostname | The hostname part of the FQDN for a mail exchange server, such as mail. |
Priority | Preference given to this RR among others at the same owner. Lower values have greater priority. |
Address Type | • IPv4 • IPv6 |
Address | Specify the IP address. |
