NS / SOA Record
The NS / SOA Record table shows the NS servers, A records, TTL, Refresh Time, Retry Time,
Expire Time, Minimum Time, and E-mail contact address, that correspond to the domain.
To add or edit an NS record, click the upper
Edit
button in the
NS Record
box. Then the
table will expand to look like the following:
The first two rows are the settings of TTL, Refresh Time, Retry Time, Expiry Time, Minimum
Time and E-mail:
TTL (Time-to-Live)
: Defines the duration in seconds that the record may be cached
Refresh
: Indicates the time when the slave will try to refresh the zone from the
master.
Retry
: Defines the time between retries if the slave (secondary) fails to contact the
master when
refresh
(above) has expired.
Expire
: Indicates when the zone data is no longer authoritative.
Min Time
: Negative caching time – the time an error record is cached
: Defines the E-mail address of the person responsible for this zone. Note:
the “@” sign in the E-mail address field will be converted into a dot (“.”) in returning
the SOA record.
You can enter a name server host name and its IP address into the two newly created text
boxes. The host name can be a non-FQDN (fully qualified domain name). Click the
Add
button on the right to finish and to add the other one. After finished adding NS records,
click the
Save
button. (Before clicking the
Save
button, all NS record changes are not yet
saved to the PePLink Balance.)
