Good to know
- Records that use filter chains, answer metadata, data feeds or record links are copied as plain answers only and flagged in their comment. We never overwrite them on NS1.
- DNSSEC has to be available on the NS1 account before it can be turned on for a zone.
- NS1 changes one record set per request, so large zones take longer and count against the API rate limit.
