The Memset DNS manager allows you to add records for the following DNS Record Types:


A Records

An 'A' Record allow you to map a name value to an IPv4 address, e.g. "www" to "1.2.3.4". If no name value is provided then it will use the Domain Name of the Zone.


AAAA Records

An 'AAAA' Record allow you to map a name value to an IPv6 address, e.g. "www" to "fd20:222A:0:0:1". If no name value is provided then it will use the Domain Name of the Zone.


CAA Records

A 'CAA' Record is used to specify the certificate authorities (CAs) which are allowed to issue certificates for the domain. 


CNAME

CNAME is short for canonical name, A 'CNAME' Record will continue with the address given.

Warning: If you enter a CNAME for a subdomain for e.g. www, then A Records and MX Records for www will be ignored.

MX Records

An 'MX' Record is used to map a name value to a domain name, e.g. "mail" to "1.2.3.4".


NS Records

A 'NS' (Name Server) record allows you to delegate a subdomain's DNS records to another nameserver.


SRV Records

Defines the hostname and port number of servers for specified services. Used by SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol).

When adding an SRV record to the DNS manager, the "name" field should be of the form:

_<service>._<protocol>
TEXT

For example:

_sip._tcp
TEXT


The "points to address" field should be of the form:

<weight> <port> <target>
TEXT

For example:

5 5060 sipserver.example.com
TEXT


TXT Records

A 'TXT' Record can be used for human-readable text, but also machine-readable data such as SPF records and DomainKeys (DKIM) Records, Various Validation Services (Google, Facebook etc) and more.
