Alibaba Cloud DNS:Form editor mode

After you add a built-in authoritative zone, you must set the corresponding Domain Name System (DNS) records before you can set an effective scope for the built-in authoritative zone. Within the effective scope, the intranet DNS records rather than the Internet DNS records take effect for the built-in authoritative zone.

Procedure

1. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud DNS console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Private DNS (PrivateZone). On the page that appears, click Configuration Mode in the upper-right corner, click the Built-in Authoritative Module tab, and then click the User Defined Zones tab.

3. On the User Defined Zones tab, find the desired zone and click Resource Records Settings in the Actions column.

4. On the Resource Records Settings tab, click Add Record. In the panel that appears, click Form Editor Mode.

5. Set the required parameters and click OK.

6. In the Change Resource Record Confirmation message, verify that the settings are correct and click OK.

7. Go back to the User Defined Zones tab. Find the desired zone and click Effective Scope Settings in the Actions column.

   Note

   The procedure for configuring DNS records for a built-in authoritative regular zone is the same as the procedure for configuring DNS records for a built-in authoritative acceleration zone. Built-in authoritative acceleration zones support custom intranet DNS lines and weight settings for A, AAAA, and CNAME records.

   For more information about the types of DNS records supported by Private DNS, see DNS record types supported by Private DNS.

SRV record

An SRV record is used to specify a server that hosts a specific service. SRV records are commonly used in directory management for Microsoft operating systems.

• Record Type: Select SRV.

• Hostname: Enter a hostname in the format of Service name.Protocol type.

  Example: _sip._tcp.

• Record Value: Enter a record value in the format of Priority Weight Port Destination domain name. Separate these items with spaces.

  Example: 0 5 5060 sipserver.example.com.

• TTL: Enter a time-to-live (TTL) value for the record. A smaller value indicates a shorter period of time to apply record updates.
