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:
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.
