A Record Editing
Host Name
This field specifies the A record of this sub-domain to be served by the Peplink Balance.
The wildcard character “*” is supported. The IP addresses of "*.domain.name" will be
returned for every name ending with ".domain.name" except names that have their own
records.
TTL
This setting specifies the time to live of this record in external DNS caches.
In order to reflect any dynamic changes on the IP addresses in case of link failure and
recovery, this value should be set to a smaller value. E.g. 5 secs, 60 secs, etc.
IP Mapping
This setting specifies lists of WAN-specific Internet IP addresses that are candidates to be
returned when Peplink Balance responds to DNS queries for the domain name specified by
Host Name.
The IP addresses listed in each box as default are the Internet IP addresses associated
with each of the WAN connections. Static IP addresses that are not associated with any
WAN can be entered into the Custom IP list. A PTR record is also created for each Custom
IP’s.
