Supported Record Types

Type	Required Fields	Description
A (default)	name, value	IPv4 address record
AAAA	name, value, type	IPv6 address record
CNAME	name, value, type	Canonical name

Reverse DNS

Reverse DNS (PTR) records are automatically generated for IPv4 A records in the following networks:

• 192.168.x.x/16
• 10.8.x.x/16
• 10.0.x.x/16

IPv6 reverse DNS is not auto-generated.
Use manual PTR records in a dedicated zone instead.
