Adding a Name Server (NS) record

When you create a new zone, Ensim Pro automatically creates an NS record for the zone's name server, but if you intend to use a DNS server other than the Ensim Pro name server, you must change the NS record to reflect the name of that server. Also, if you intend to add additional remote DNS servers, you must create an NS record for each additional server.

You can add the record only if your service provider has enabled the capability in the DNS policy file. If not enabled, the control panel displays a message stating that the policy settings do not allow you to add the zone record. Contact your service provider if you want the settings changed.

- Important: Add a Host (A) record before you create the NS record.

To add an NS record:

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

2. In the Reseller Zone List form, locate the zone you want to add a record to, and in the Actions column, click . The Record List form opens. It displays all existing records for the zone.

3. Click Add NS Record. The Update Name Server (NS) Record form opens.

4. Optional: If you are creating a subdomain, enter the name of the subdomain in the Name Server Zone field; for example, ShoppingMall.acme.east.com.

5. Note: You must create the subdomain first.

5. In the Name server field, enter the host name of the DNS server responsible for the DNS resolution of this subdomain.

6. Click Add.
