Overview
Built-in authoritative acceleration zones support line-based intelligent Domain Name System (DNS) resolution, which returns preset DNS records based on different DNS request sources. Private DNS supports the following lines: default line, Alibaba Cloud lines, and custom lines.
Default line: The default line is equivalent to a global line. We recommend that you configure a default line to ensure that a DNS record can be returned if no intelligent line is matched.
Alibaba Cloud lines: indicate that DNS requests are originated from Alibaba Cloud, including Alibaba Cloud public cloud, Alibaba Finance Cloud, and Alibaba Gov Cloud.
Custom lines: You can configure custom lines so that the Private DNS service can return specific IP addresses for DNS requests that are originated from a specific CIDR block.
Only the built-in authoritative acceleration zone supports custom lines.
