DNS / URL-Forwarding

Create a dns-configuration

Introduction

With this request you can create or modify a zonefile at the joker-nameserver.

You can add A-Records, CNAME-Records, MX-Records, a nameservice-based Url-forwarding and a frame-based Url-forwarding. Modifing the TTL is not possible.

The format of this request is a little bit different from the other requests. Please check the given examples for how to specify the different zonefile-records.

ATTENTION:

You have to change the nameservers for a domain to the nameservers of joker.com first!

- a.ns.joker.com
- b.ns.joker.com
- c.ns.joker.com

If you would like to use the joker-nameservice, you will have to use all joker-nameservers.

It is not possible to use the joker-nameservice

  • for primary nameservice only

  • for secondarynameservice only

All joker-nameservers

  • are configured to deny all zone-fetching requests!

  • do not query foreign nameservers!
