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. |
IXFR : Incremental Zone Transfer ( RFC 1995)
Requests a zone transfer of the given zone but only differences from a previous serial number. This request may be ignored and a full (AXFR) sent in response if the authoritative server is unable to fulfill the request due to configuration or lack of required deltas. |
NS : name server record ( RFC 1035)
Delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers |
|
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.
|
AFSDB : AFS database record ( RFC 1183)
Location of database servers of an AFS cell. This record is commonly used by AFS clients to contact AFS cells outside their local domain. A subtype of this record is used by the obsolete DCE/DFS file system. |
KEY : Key record ( RFC 4034)
Used only for TKEY (RFC 2930). Before RFC 3755 was published, this was also used for DNSSEC, but DNSSEC now uses DNSKEY. |
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. |
DS : Delegation signer ( RFC 4034)
The record used to identify the DNSSEC signing key of a delegated zone |
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. |
A : address record ( RFC 1035)
Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host, but also used for DNSBLs, storing subnet masks in RFC 1101, etc. |
HIP : Host Identity Protocol ( RFC 5205)
Method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. |
DHCID : DHCP identifier ( RFC 4701)
Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP |
NSEC3PARAM : NSEC3 parameters ( RFC 5155)
Parameter record for use with NSEC3 |
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. |
TXT : Text record ( RFC 1035)
Originally for arbitrary human-readable text in a DNS record. Since the early 1990s, however, this record more often carries machine-readable data, such as specified by RFC 1464, opportunistic encryption, Sender Policy Framework, DomainKeys, DNS-SD, etc. |
AAAA : IPv6 address record ( RFC 3596)
Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host. |
RRSIG : DNSSEC signature ( RFC 4034)
Signature for a DNSSEC-secured record set. Uses the same format as the SIG record. |
