Zone Editor Help
- Zone Name
- Enter your zone name in the format of name.tld (eg. powerdns-admin.com). You can also enter sublevel zones to create delegate zones (eg. sub.powerdns-admin.com) which can be useful for delegating control to other users.
- Zone Override Record
- When enabled, this will allow the user to by-pass validation errors if the user doesn't have administration rights to a parent zone.
- Account
- Specifies the PowerDNS account value to use for the zone.
- Zone Type
- The type decides how the zone will be replicated across multiple DNS servers.
- Native - The server will not perform any Primary or Secondary zone functions.
- Primary - The server will serve as the Primary and will send zone transfers (AXFRs) to other servers configured as secondaries.
- Secondary - The server will serve as the Secondary and will request and receive zone transfers (AXFRs) from other servers configured as Primaries.
- Zone Template
- Specifies the existing zone template which this zone should initially be replicated from.
- SOA-EDIT-API
- The SOA-EDIT-API setting defines how the SOA serial number will be updated after a
change is
made to the zone.
- DEFAULT - Generate a soa serial of YYYYMMDD01. If the current serial is lower than the generated serial, use the generated serial. If the current serial is higher or equal to the generated serial, increase the current serial by 1.
- INCREASE - Increase the current serial by 1.
- EPOCH - Change the serial to the number of seconds since the EPOCH, AKA UNIX timestamps
- OFF - Disable automatic updates of the SOA serial.
