DNS Records may be managed either from the View Zone page (for the records under their respective zone) or globally through the DNS Records sub-tab.
ProVision supports 18 standard record types, as well as the ability to add a custom/arbitrary record type manually.
Available record types include the following:
|
From the View Zone page, under DNS Records, look for the line "Add a new ___ Record".
Select the desired record type from the dropdown list, then click "Add".
Fill in the information for the new record, selecting options for adding to groups or skipping validation.
When done, click "Save Changes".
When working with records (like TXT), there is no need to add quotes around the record value - ProVision will automatically add double quotes for the TXT records on Zone Push, and will also automatically use quotes to split TXT values larger than 255 characters. If your record value contains internal quotes that you wish to keep, you may escape it by adding a backslash ( \ ) before the quote from the "Edit Record" screen. Examples:
If you have additional questions on handling of quote characters in zone records, contact support@6connect.com. |
From the View Zone page, under DNS Records, look for the line "Add a new ___ Record".
Select the desired record type from the dropdown list, then click "Add".
Enter the Host value for the record.
For the Record Value, enter the IP Address, using brackets for the last octet to denote the range of IPs.
Example:
Host: h69-131-159-$1.qncyfi
Value: 69.131.159.{240-255}
When you are done, click "Save Changes" to complete the edit.
ProVision can be configured auto-generate IPv4 / IPv6 PTR records in reverse zones based on template.
Example :
If the zone is named 33.44.in-addr.arpa.
Host : {100-150}.{22-24}
Value : $1-$2-available.example.com.
The generated records on push will look like :
100.22.33.44.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR 100-22-available.example.com.
101.22.33.44.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR 101-22-available.example.com.
...
149.24.33.44.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR 149-24-available.example.com.
150.24.33.44.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR 150-24-available.example.com.
To import a zone file to populate record data in ProVision, go to the View Zone page for the zone. The zone must already exist in ProVision, although it may be empty
You may wish to enable "Save Import File" in Admin Settings → DNS Settings prior to importing zone files, so that the file is available for later download. See Working with DNS Zones - Common Tasks or Import DNS Zones. |
Click "Import Zone" on the View Zone page.
A Zone Import dialog box will open. Next to Zone File:, click "Choose File" and select your .zone file to import. Then, select an import policy to follow.
When done, Click "Import Zone".
To edit an existing zone record, click on the record line in the DNS Records list.
The Edit Record dialog will open, allowing you to fill in record details.
Fill in the Host, Value, TTL, and comment if desired.
An option exists to "Skip Validation" - check to select if you wish to bypass validation for the record.
If previous versions of the record exist, the revision log will be visible under "Record revisions".
When edits or reviewing is complete, click "Save changes", or "Close" to exit without saving.
Delete a zone record by clicking the "Delete" button under "Actions" for the desired record entry.
Check a record for errors by clicking the "Check" button under "Actions" for the desired record entry.
A dialog box will appear, with details on any errors.
You may clear the error if desired, recheck, or close the box.
Under the "Attached Servers" section of the View Zone page, next to "Attach Server:", select the desired server to attach and choose the server type (Default, Master, Slave), then click the "Attach" button.
To detach a server from a zone, look for the server under the "Attached Servers" list, then click "Detach" under actions for that server.
If a zone has had changes successfully pushed, a "Zone Backups" section appears near the bottom of the page, showing the date and time of the backup.
To view details, or restore the zone to the previous version, click on the row of the desired date/time backup, and the "Zone Restore" module will open.
From here, you may restore individual records by clicking on them, or restore the entire zone by clicking the "Restore Zone" button.
To exit without saving, click the "Close" button.
The DNS Records sub-tab provides a global list records for expedited searching, filtering, adding, and editing of DNS Records.
From the DNS Tab, click on the "DNS Records" sub-tab button, or select it from the DNS dropdown menu.
All DNS records available in ProVision displays in a single Record List, along with Host, Type, Value, and Last Queried information.
Search for specific records by filtering by Host, Type, Comment, Value, Last Query, Last Modified, Record TTL, or Status.
After entering your filter criteria, click "Filter".
For each record, you may:
Next to "Record List", select the desired record type, then click "Add Record".
