TKEY : Transaction Key ( RFC 2930)
One way of providing a key to be used with TSIG |
NAPTR : Naming Authority Pointer ( RFC 3403)
Allows regular expression based rewriting of domain names which can then be used as URIs, further domain names to lookups, etc. |
NSEC : Next-Secure record ( RFC 4034)
Part of DNSSEC—used to prove a name does not exist. Uses the same format as the (obsolete) NXT record. |
TSIG : Transaction Signature ( RFC 2845)
Record that supports one set of security mechanisms for DNS. Used to secure communication between DNS resolvers and Name servers, in contrast to DNSSEC, which secures the actual DNS records from the authoritative name server. |
DLV : DNSSEC Lookaside Validation record ( RFC 4431)
For publishing DNSSEC trust anchors outside of the DNS delegation chain. Uses the same format as the DS record. RFC 5074 describes a way of using these records. |
SRV : Service locator ( RFC 2782)
Generalized service location record, used for newer protocols instead of creating protocol-specific records such as MX. |
A : address record ( RFC 1035)
Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host, but also used for DNSBLs, storing subnet masks in RFC 1101, etc. |
* : All cached records ( RFC 1035)
Returns all records of all types known to the name server. If the name server does not have any information on the name, the request will be forwarded on. The records returned may not be complete. For example, if there is both an A and an MX for a name, but the name server has only the A record cached, only the A record will be returned. |
DS : Delegation signer ( RFC 4034)
The record used to identify the DNSSEC signing key of a delegated zone |
NSEC3 : NSEC record version 3 ( RFC 5155)
An extension to DNSSEC that allows proof of nonexistence for a name without permitting zonewalking |
CNAME : Canonical name record ( RFC 1035)
Alias of one name to another: the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name. |
DNSKEY : DNS Key record ( RFC 4034)
The key record used in DNSSEC. Uses the same format as the KEY record. |
NSEC3PARAM : NSEC3 parameters ( RFC 5155)
Parameter record for use with NSEC3 |
LOC : Location record ( RFC 1876)
Specifies a geographical location associated with a domain name |
OPT : Option ( RFC 2671)
This is a 'pseudo DNS record type' needed to support EDNS |
IPSECKEY : IPSEC Key ( RFC 4025)
Key record that can be used with IPSEC |
AAAA : IPv6 address record ( RFC 3596)
Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host. |
AXFR : Full Zone Transfer ( RFC 1035)
Transfer entire zone file from the master name server to secondary name servers. |
