IPAM DNS records

IPAM supports five DNS record types.

A	Address Mapping/Host	An A record provides the IP address of a domain. Examples: www, mail, ftp, webmail, www2, secure, store, dev
AAAA	IP Version 6 Address	Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map host names to an IP address of the host.
CNAME	Canonical Name/Alias	CNAME records map aliases with domain names. Example: Record: webmail Address: mail.hostedmail.com
MX	Mail exchanger	MX records use your external mail servers to process your email. Example: Priority: 10 Record: @ Address: mail.domain.com
PTR	Reverse-lookup Pointer	A domain name pointer maps a network interface (IP) to a host name.

Currently you cannot edit HINFO, ISDN, NS or SOA records.

Each DNS record can be customized as needed.

• IPAM automatically detects DNS forward and reverse mismatches.
• IPAM automatically creates DNS PTR records when new devices are added into DNS zones.
• From this location you can manage all aspects of your domain registration. You can also change your domain name servers.
