If you previously enabled DNSSEC on your domain name by setting a DS record at your registrar, you will likely have to turn it off before changing nameservers.</p> <p class="alert" role="alert"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-info-sign"></span> You may encounter zone file errors when attempting to create a TXT record with a long string. <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4408#section-3.1.3">RFC 4408</a> states a TXT record is allowed to contain multiple strings, and this technique can be used to construct records that would exceed the 255-byte maximum length. You may need to adopt this technique when adding DomainKeys. Use a tool like <code>named-checkzone</code> to validate your zone file. </p> <table id="external_dns_settings" class="table"> <thead> <tr> <th>QName</th> <th>Type</th> <th>Value</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> </tbody> </table> <script> function show_external_dns() { $('#external_dns_settings tbody').html("<tr><td colspan='2' class='text-muted'>Loading...</td></tr>") api( "/dns/dump", "GET", { }, function(zones) { $('#external_dns_settings tbody').html(""); for (var j = 0; j < zones.length; j++) { var h = $("<tr class='heading'><td colspan='3'></td></tr>"); h.find("td").text(zones[j][0]); $('#external_dns_settings tbody').append(h); var r = zones[j][1]; for (var i = 0; i < r.length; i++) { var n = $("<tr class='values'><td class='qname'/><td class='rtype'/><td class='value'/></tr>"); n.find('.qname').text(r[i].qname); n.find('.rtype').text(r[i].rtype); n.find('.value').text(r[i].value); $('#external_dns_settings tbody').append(n); var n = $("<tr class='explanation'><td colspan='3'/></tr>"); n.find('td').text(r[i].explanation); $('#external_dns_settings tbody').append(n); } } }) } </script>
