Modifying a zone-specific SOA record

Ensim Pro provides default information about the SOA records that are created for all the zones on the name server. The default information applies to every SOA record created, unless you manually change the specific SOA record.

You can modify the SOA 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 modify the SOA record. Contact your service provider if you want the settings changed.

If enabled, you can modify the SOA information default settings to make a change that will affect every SOA record on the name server. If you want to make a change that applies only to a specific SOA record, you can modify just the zone-specific SOA record.

To modify just a zone-specific record:

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

2. In the Zone List form, locate the zone whose record you want to modify, and in the Actions column, click . The configuration file for the zone is displayed.

3. On the SOA form, click Edit SOA Configuration. The Edit Start of Authority (SOA) Configuration form opens.

4. Complete the SOA configuration form.

5. Click Update SOA Configuration.
