A DNS NS record identifies an authoritative DNS server for a domain. Each authoritative DNS server must have an NS record. The appliance automatically creates an NS record when you assign a grid member as the primary server for a zone. You can manually create NS records for other zones.
References to record:ns are object references. The name part of a NS record object reference has the following components:
- Name of the authoritative server
- Name of the record
- Name of the view
Example: record:ns/ZG5zLmhvc3RjkuMC4xLg:ns1.server.com/some.name.com/default
The object cannot be managed on Cloud Platform members.
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, nameserver, view.
The following fields are required to create this object:
