Viewing DNS zone records

When you create a new zone, Ensim Pro automatically creates a Name Server (NS) record for the zone’s name server and Host (A) records for the FTP server and the domain name (www). You can view your zone records from the Host List.

- Note: If you are not using Ensim Pro as your DNS name server, you do not need to do anything with the DNS settings of Ensim Pro; the settings shown in the DNS section of the Appliance Administrator GUI are not used. For more information, see:
  Introduction to DNS and name servers
