LOC : Location record ( RFC 1876)
Specifies a geographical location associated with a domain name |
NSEC3PARAM : NSEC3 parameters ( RFC 5155)
Parameter record for use with NSEC3 |
TSIG : Transaction Signature ( RFC 2845)
Record that supports one set of security mechanisms for DNS. Used to secure communication between DNS resolvers and Name servers, in contrast to DNSSEC, which secures the actual DNS records from the authoritative name server. |
NSEC : Next-Secure record ( RFC 4034)
Part of DNSSEC—used to prove a name does not exist. Uses the same format as the (obsolete) NXT record. |
DNSKEY : DNS Key record ( RFC 4034)
The key record used in DNSSEC. Uses the same format as the KEY record. |
SIG : Signature ( RFC 2535)
Signature record used in SIG(0) (RFC 2931). Until RFC 3755 was published, the SIG record was part of DNSSEC; now RRSIG is used for that. |
SOA : start of authority record ( RFC 1035)
Specifies authoritative information about a DNS zone, including the primary name server, the email of the domain administrator, the domain serial number, and several timers relating to refreshing the zone. |
DNAME : delegation name ( RFC 2672)
DNAME will delegate an entire portion of the DNS tree under a new name. In contrast, the CNAME record creates an alias of a single name. Like the CNAME record, the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name. |
AFSDB : AFS database record ( RFC 1183)
Location of database servers of an AFS cell. This record is commonly used by AFS clients to contact AFS cells outside their local domain. A subtype of this record is used by the obsolete DCE/DFS file system. |
TKEY : Transaction Key ( RFC 2930)
One way of providing a key to be used with TSIG |
|
TA : DNSSEC Trust Authorities (None)
Part of a deployment proposal for DNSSEC without a signed DNS root. See the IANA database and Weiler Spec] for details. Uses the same format as the DS record.
|
CNAME : Canonical name record ( RFC 1035)
Alias of one name to another: the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name. |
CERT : Certificate record ( RFC 4398)
Stores PKIX, SPKI, PGP, etc. |
DHCID : DHCP identifier ( RFC 4701)
Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP |
OPT : Option ( RFC 2671)
This is a 'pseudo DNS record type' needed to support EDNS |
NSEC3 : NSEC record version 3 ( RFC 5155)
An extension to DNSSEC that allows proof of nonexistence for a name without permitting zonewalking |
PTR : pointer record ( RFC 1035)
Pointer to a canonical name. Unlike a CNAME, DNS processing does NOT proceed, just the name is returned. The most common use is for implementing reverse DNS lookups, but other uses include such things as DNS-SD. |
DLV : DNSSEC Lookaside Validation record ( RFC 4431)
For publishing DNSSEC trust anchors outside of the DNS delegation chain. Uses the same format as the DS record. RFC 5074 describes a way of using these records. |
