Resource Records

Resource Records are managed by clicking on the zone name from the zone listing. By default, ALL resource records (RR) will be displayed, but you can choose which RR to view by selecting one from the upper right. Any RR that has at least one entry will be listed outside of the drop-down menu.

Form Validation

Whenever you add or edit records, the record(s) will need to be validated before they can be saved. Form validation attempts to ensure the data entered is RFC-compliant and flags any field that has bad data. You can either validate each entry individually by clicking the green checkmark at the end of the record row or use the Validate All button to check all new and modified entries.

Linked PTR Records

A records provide the option to automatically create a PTR record with the Create PTR checkbox. Once an A record is created with a PTR, the record will show it has a linked PTR which can later be updated if the record changes.

Note

If the corresponding reverse zone does not already exist, it can be automatically created during the record validation process.

Append Domain

Certain records offer the option to automatically Append Domain to the record value.

This is helpful if you can't remember if a value needs a trailing period (.) or not.

CUSTOM Record

Each zone has a CUSTOM RR which allows you to add any other zone data that might not otherwise be supported by fmDNS. Simply click on the CUSTOM RR in the upper right, add your content, and Save.

Unsaved Records

Whenever a zone has unsaved resource records, there will be a yellow dot next to the domain name in the header as a visual indicator.
