Adding zones to a name server

- Note: If you add records to an alias zone (that is, a zone added to an alias domain), before you remove the alias domain, make sure you manually migrate all the records to another zone.

To add a zone to the name server:

1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page
   , click Zones (DNS section).

2. Click Add Zone. The Add Zone form opens.

3. In the Zone Name field, enter the name of the new zone, for example, myzone.com.

4. In the Master field, enter the host name of the server that you want to designate as the master DNS server for the zone.

5. In the Slaves field, enter the host name(s) of the server(s) that you want to designate as the slave server(s) for the zone. Enter each host name on a new line.

6. Click Add.

Ensim Pro adds the new zone to your DNS configuration and automatically creates the following DNS records.

7. Name server (NS) record specifying the zone's name server. The default is the Ensim Pro server on which the zone operates.

8. Start of Authority (SOA) record specifying where within the domain name space the name server has authority.

The Zone List is updated with the new entry.
