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
E-mail: 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 finishing adding NS records, click the Save button. (Before clicking the
Save button, all NS record changes are not yet saved to the Peplink Balance.)
13.4.3 MX Record
The MX Record table shows the domain’s MX records. Each MX record contains the priority and mail
exchange server host name.
For each record, Priority and Mail Server name must be entered. Priority typically ranges from 10 to
100. Smaller numbers have a higher a priority. After finishing adding MX records, click the Save button.
13.4.4 CNAME Record
The CNAME Record table shows the domain’s CNAME records. Here is how you use CNAME Records:
If you want a sub-domain “secure” to have the same A record value(s) as “www”, then you can create a
CNAME record for “secure” and reference it to “www”.
The wildcard character “*” is supported in the Host field. The Reference of "*.domain.name" will be
returned for every name ending with ".domain.name" except names that have their own records.
The TTL field tells the time to live of the record in external DNS caches.
