recordnamepolicy : Record name policy object.

You can enforce naming policy for the hostnames of A, AAAA, Host, MX, NS and bulk host records based on user-defined or default patterns. For MX and NS records, the hostname restrictions apply to the text in the RDATA field of the resource record name. Records that you created before you enabled the hostname checking policy need not to comply with the hostname restriction that you specify.

The record name policy object contains configuration of the regular expression hostnames should comply with.
