An RPZ Substitute (A Record) Rule maps a domain name to a substitute IPv4 address. To define a specific name-to-address mapping, add an Substitute (A Record) Rule to a previously defined Response Policy Zone.
This record represents the substitution rule for DNS A records.
References to record:rpz:a are object references. The name part of a Substitute (A Record) Rule object reference has the following components:
- Name of the record
- Name of the view
Example: record:rpz:a/ZG5zLmhvc3RjkuMC4xLg:some.name.com/default
The object does not support the following operations:
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): ipv4addr, name, view.
The following fields are required to create this object:
