HIP : Host Identity Protocol ( RFC 5205)
Method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. |
IPSECKEY : IPSEC Key ( RFC 4025)
Key record that can be used with IPSEC |
A : address record ( RFC 1035)
Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host, but also used for DNSBLs, storing subnet masks in RFC 1101, etc. |
SSHFP : SSH Public Key Fingerprint ( RFC 4255)
Resource record for publishing SSH public host key fingerprints in the DNS System, in order to aid in verifying the authenticity of the host. |
NSEC3PARAM : NSEC3 parameters ( RFC 5155)
Parameter record for use with NSEC3 |
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. |
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. |
TXT : Text record ( RFC 1035)
Originally for arbitrary human-readable text in a DNS record. Since the early 1990s, however, this record more often carries machine-readable data, such as specified by RFC 1464, opportunistic encryption, Sender Policy Framework, DomainKeys, DNS-SD, etc. |
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. |
DNSKEY : DNS Key record ( RFC 4034)
The key record used in DNSSEC. Uses the same format as the KEY record. |
TKEY : Transaction Key ( RFC 2930)
One way of providing a key to be used with TSIG |
NAPTR : Naming Authority Pointer ( RFC 3403)
Allows regular expression based rewriting of domain names which can then be used as URIs, further domain names to lookups, etc. |
DS : Delegation signer ( RFC 4034)
The record used to identify the DNSSEC signing key of a delegated zone |
LOC : Location record ( RFC 1876)
Specifies a geographical location associated with a domain name |
|
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.
|
SRV : Service locator ( RFC 2782)
Generalized service location record, used for newer protocols instead of creating protocol-specific records such as MX. |
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. |
RRSIG : DNSSEC signature ( RFC 4034)
Signature for a DNSSEC-secured record set. Uses the same format as the SIG record. |
