DNS zone management

Name

Name of the zone. This name is used to identify a particular zone (in application menus for example) and to name the file generated by the mkzones script.

Examples :

example.com
example.com.internal-view
168.192.in-addr.arpa

RR selection criterion

Criterion to select resource records for this zone. For a forward zone, it is a domain name. For a reverse (IPv4 or IPv6) zone, it is a network prefix.

Examples :

example.com
192.168.17.0/24

View

DNS view for this zone. Views allows DNS servers to provide different sets of DNS information selected for example by source address of resolver clients.

A domain name may therefore have more than one zone, depending on the declared views. A zone is associated with a view. Each IP address (or alias, or mail role, etc.) is also associated with a particular view.

Examples :

internal
default

Prologue

Text to add in the zone file before generated RR from database. This text must contain string %ZONEVERSION%, which will be replaced by the version number at generation time.

Notice: if there are special cases (example: 2 RR with same A and different names), they must be here.

Example :

; ; default TTL of RR ; $TTL 86400

IN NS ns.example.com. IN NS ns.myisp.com.

; ; Default MX ;

; IN MX 10 maihost1.example.com. ; IN MX 20 maihost2.example.com.

Addtl RR

Text to add after each A or MX resource record. This text must contains string %NAME%, which will be replaced by the RR name.

Example :

%NAME%	IN	MX	10 mailhost.example.com.
%NAME%	IN	MX	20 mailhost2.example.com.
