record:dname : DNS DNAME record object.

A DNAME record maps all the names in one domain to those in another domain, essentially substituting one domain name suffix with the other.

Object Reference

References to record:dname are object references. The name part of a DNS DNAME object reference has the following components:

  • The name of the record.
  • The name of the view.

Example: record:dname/ZG5zLmJpsaG9zdA:us.example.com/default.external

Restrictions

The object cannot be managed on Cloud Platform members.

Fields

These fields are actual members of the object; thus, they can be requested by using _return_fields, if the fields are readable.

The basic version of the object contains the field(s): name, target, view.
