About DNS zones

- 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
  Using Ensim Pro as a DNS server

DNS zones specify the domain name boundaries in which a DNS server has authority to perform name translations. Each zone contains records that specify how to resolve the host names associated with the zone or domain.

- Important: 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.

If you are using Ensim Pro as a DNS server, you can add and remove zones through the Appliance Administrator control panel. If you are not using Ensim Pro as a DNS server, you do not need to do anything with the DNS settings in Ensim Pro.
