Adding zones to a name server

- Note: 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.
  However, 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

To add a zone to the name server:

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

2. In the Zone List area, click the arrow in the Add field (to the right in the Zone List area) and choose Zone. The Add New Zone form opens.

3. In the Zone name field, enter the name of the new zone, for example, myzone.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 Ensim Pro 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.
