Good to know

  • Every change rewrites the zone's full custom record list in one request; records we don't manage (such as MBOXFW and HINFO) are sent back unchanged.
  • Basic and Premium DNS are separate services with separate zones; the connection works with one of them at a time.
  • Zones linked to a DNS template also receive the template's records, which are managed on the template, not per zone.
