NAPTR : Naming Authority Pointer ( RFC 3403)
Allows regular expression based rewriting of domain names which can then be used as URIs, further domain names to lookups, etc. |
NS : name server record ( RFC 1035)
Delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers |
MX : mail exchange record ( RFC 1035)
Maps a domain name to a list of mail exchange servers for that domain |
AXFR : Full Zone Transfer ( RFC 1035)
Transfer entire zone file from the master name server to secondary name servers. |
TKEY : Transaction Key ( RFC 2930)
One way of providing a key to be used with TSIG |
TSIG : Transaction Signature ( RFC 2845)
Record that supports one set of security mechanisms for DNS. Used to secure communication between DNS resolvers and Name servers, in contrast to DNSSEC, which secures the actual DNS records from the authoritative name server. |
IPSECKEY : IPSEC Key ( RFC 4025)
Key record that can be used with IPSEC |
|
TA : DNSSEC Trust Authorities (None)
Part of a deployment proposal for DNSSEC without a signed DNS root. See the IANA database and Weiler Spec] for details. Uses the same format as the DS record.
|
NSEC3 : NSEC record version 3 ( RFC 5155)
An extension to DNSSEC that allows proof of nonexistence for a name without permitting zonewalking |
NSEC3PARAM : NSEC3 parameters ( RFC 5155)
Parameter record for use with NSEC3 |
SOA : start of authority record ( RFC 1035)
Specifies authoritative information about a DNS zone, including the primary name server, the email of the domain administrator, the domain serial number, and several timers relating to refreshing the zone. |
CNAME : Canonical name record ( RFC 1035)
Alias of one name to another: the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name. |
NSEC : Next-Secure record ( RFC 4034)
Part of DNSSEC—used to prove a name does not exist. Uses the same format as the (obsolete) NXT record. |
AAAA : IPv6 address record ( RFC 3596)
Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host. |
DHCID : DHCP identifier ( RFC 4701)
Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP |
CERT : Certificate record ( RFC 4398)
Stores PKIX, SPKI, PGP, etc. |
DNAME : delegation name ( RFC 2672)
DNAME will delegate an entire portion of the DNS tree under a new name. In contrast, the CNAME record creates an alias of a single name. Like the CNAME record, the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name. |
IXFR : Incremental Zone Transfer ( RFC 1995)
Requests a zone transfer of the given zone but only differences from a previous serial number. This request may be ignored and a full (AXFR) sent in response if the authoritative server is unable to fulfill the request due to configuration or lack of required deltas. |
