   Important

   We recommend that you set the Effective Scope of Zone parameter after all the DNS record configurations are complete. If you set the Effective Scope of Zone parameter when you create a zone, DNS resolution within the effective scope of the zone fails during the period after the zone is created and before DNS records are added. This situation does not happen if you enabled the Recursive Resolution Proxy for Subdomain Names feature.
