Record Properties dialog
(DNS Records window -> Select a record -> "Properties" button)
The Record Properties dialog is used to specify a DNS record's Name, Data and TTL.
The record name must end with the name of the zone it belongs to (automatically enforced), and can only be entered when creating a new record or copying a record.
Valid characters are: A-Z, 0-9, hyphen (-) and period (.).
To specify wildcard records, enter an asterisk (*) as the first character followed by a period (.) and the rest of the name.
The Data depends on the record type - see the individual record types for more information:
A, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, more...
The "Record Time To Live (TTL)" field specifies how long other DNS server and clients are allowed to cache this record.
The "Record comments" field can be use to keep any additional information about the record such as what the record does, or a client account number.
For records created or updated via dynamic updates, HTTP, or DHCP, Simple DNS Plus will automatically enter a comment about how and when the record was created.
Please note that this field is not transferred to secondary DNS servers.
For A-Records there is a special option "Update Reverse Zone".
This will create or update a PTR-record in a reverse zone to enable reverse lookups on the IP address.
