DS : Delegation signer ( RFC 4034)
The record used to identify the DNSSEC signing key of a delegated zone |
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. |
NSEC3 : NSEC record version 3 ( RFC 5155)
An extension to DNSSEC that allows proof of nonexistence for a name without permitting zonewalking |
* : 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. |
NSEC3PARAM : NSEC3 parameters ( RFC 5155)
Parameter record for use with NSEC3 |
SIG : Signature ( RFC 2535)
Signature record used in SIG(0) (RFC 2931). Until RFC 3755 was published, the SIG record was part of DNSSEC; now RRSIG is used for that. |
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. |
MX : mail exchange record ( RFC 1035)
Maps a domain name to a list of mail exchange servers for that domain |
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. |
|
TA : DNSSEC Trust Authorities (None)
Part of a deployment proposal for DNSSEC without a signed DNS root. See the IANA database and Weiler Spec] for details. Uses the same format as the DS record.
|
NS : name server record ( RFC 1035)
Delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers |
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. |
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. |
CERT : Certificate record ( RFC 4398)
Stores PKIX, SPKI, PGP, etc. |
HIP : Host Identity Protocol ( RFC 5205)
Method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. |
DNAME : delegation name ( RFC 2672)
DNAME will delegate an entire portion of the DNS tree under a new name. In contrast, the CNAME record creates an alias of a single name. Like the CNAME record, the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name. |
SSHFP : SSH Public Key Fingerprint ( RFC 4255)
Resource record for publishing SSH public host key fingerprints in the DNS System, in order to aid in verifying the authenticity of the host. |
DHCID : DHCP identifier ( RFC 4701)
Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP |
