Additional Record Types

We often get requests to support less common DNS record types. We’ve added a new section in the control panel to manage ‘Other’ resource record types. The following record types are currently supported:

• AFSDB
• CERT
• KEY
• LOC
• RP
• SSHFP
• TLSA

The preference for ‘Show Advanced DNS Records’ needs to be enabled:

In the ‘DNS Settings’ tab there is a link for ‘Other’ under ‘Advanced DNS Records’:

Please keep in mind that the config values for these records need to be entered manually, for example a CERT record which is returned as:

easydns-test.net. 300 IN CERT 6 0 0 (

)

Will need to have the DATA field in the control panel populated as:

6 0 0 (
