1300 851 747DNS Management Setup
The SOA record| ns | The name of the name server that was the original or primary source of data for this zone. (meaningless to this DNS system) ex: primary.example.com. (default ns.conexim.com.au.) |
| A name which specifies the mailbox of the person responsible for this zone. This should be specified in the mailbox-as-domain-name format where the `@' character is replaced with a dot. (meaningless to this DNS system) ex: postmaster.example.com. (default hostmaster.conexim.com.au.) | |
| serial | A "version number" for this zone. DNS servers that rely on AXFR for zone transfers use this to determine when updates have occurred. Popular values to use are the Unix timestamp or a date in the form YYYYMMDD, followed by an extra version VV. ex: 2002052901 |
| refresh | The SOA record of the primary server is checked every refresh seconds by the secondary servers; if it has change, a zone transfer is done. (meaningless to this DNS system) ex: 10800 (default 28800) |
| retry | If a secondary server cannot reach the primary server, it tries it again every retry seconds. (meaningless to this DNS system) ex: 3600 (default 7200) |
| expire | If for expire seconds the primary server cannot be reached, all information about the zone is invalidated on the secondary servers (i.e., they are no longer authoritative for that zone). (meaningless to this DNS system) ex: 60400 (default 604800) |
| minimum | The minimum TTL field that should be exported with any RR from this zone. ex: 86400 (default 86400) |
| ttl | The time interval that this resource record may be cached before the source of the information should again be consulted. Zero values are interpreted to mean that the RR can only be used for thetransaction in progress, and should not be cached. ex: 86400 (default 86400) |
The RR records
| name | The name (beneath the origin) that this RR describes. Wildcard values such as `*' or `*.sub' are supported. ex: foo |
| type | The type of resource record ('A','AAAA','CNAME','MX','NS','SRV','TXT'). |
| data | The data associated with this resource record. For `A' and `AAAA' records, this is an IP address in dotted-decimal format. For `CNAME', `MX', and `NS' records, this is a name (can be just a machine name if the name is within the origin zone, or a FQDN). For `TXT' records, any text. `SRV' records must contain three values in this field, separated by whitespace (SPACE or TAB). The first field is a number specifying the weight for this entry. The second field is a number specifying the port on the target host of this service. The last field is a name specifying the target host. ex: 127.0.0.1 (A or AAAA) ex: foo (CNAME, MX, or NS within this zone) ex: foo.example.com. (CNAME, MX, or NS outside this zone) ex: 0 9 box.example.com. (SRV record) |
| aux | An auxillary numeric value in addition to data. For `MX' records, this field specifies the preference. For `SRV' records, this field specifies the priority. ex: 10 |
| ttl | The time interval that this resource record may be cached before the source of the information should again be consulted. Zero values are interpreted to mean that the RR can only be used for the transaction in progress, and should not be cached. ex: 86400 (default 86400) |
