Adding zones to a name server

You can add zones to a name server 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 zones to the name server. Contact your service provider if you want the settings changed.

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.myname.com.

4. Click Add.

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

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

6. 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.
