Good to know
- LiveDNS only hosts zones for domains in your Gandi organization, so zones can't be created for domains registered elsewhere.
- ALIAS records are only allowed at the zone apex; TTLs must be between 300 seconds and 30 days.
- Apex NS records are managed by Gandi and are left untouched.
