AFSDB : AFS database record ( RFC 1183)
Location of database servers of an AFS cell. This record is commonly used by AFS clients to contact AFS cells outside their local domain. A subtype of this record is used by the obsolete DCE/DFS file system. |
NSEC3 : NSEC record version 3 ( RFC 5155)
An extension to DNSSEC that allows proof of nonexistence for a name without permitting zonewalking |
AXFR : Full Zone Transfer ( RFC 1035)
Transfer entire zone file from the master name server to secondary name servers. |
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 |
RRSIG : DNSSEC signature ( RFC 4034)
Signature for a DNSSEC-secured record set. Uses the same format as the SIG record. |
IPSECKEY : IPSEC Key ( RFC 4025)
Key record that can be used with IPSEC |
KEY : Key record ( RFC 4034)
Used only for TKEY (RFC 2930). Before RFC 3755 was published, this was also used for DNSSEC, but DNSSEC now uses DNSKEY. |
SSHFP : SSH Public Key Fingerprint ( RFC 4255)
Resource record for publishing SSH public host key fingerprints in the DNS System, in order to aid in verifying the authenticity of the host. |
|
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.
|
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. |
PTR : pointer record ( RFC 1035)
Pointer to a canonical name. Unlike a CNAME, DNS processing does NOT proceed, just the name is returned. The most common use is for implementing reverse DNS lookups, but other uses include such things as DNS-SD. |
DNSKEY : DNS Key record ( RFC 4034)
The key record used in DNSSEC. Uses the same format as the KEY record. |
MX : mail exchange record ( RFC 1035)
Maps a domain name to a list of mail exchange servers for that domain |
DHCID : DHCP identifier ( RFC 4701)
Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP |
OPT : Option ( RFC 2671)
This is a 'pseudo DNS record type' needed to support EDNS |
HIP : Host Identity Protocol ( RFC 5205)
Method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. |
SIG : Signature ( RFC 2535)
Signature record used in SIG(0) (RFC 2931). Until RFC 3755 was published, the SIG record was part of DNSSEC; now RRSIG is used for that. |
