Adding a Name Server (NS) record
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 Server Administrator GUI are not used. For more information, see: Introduction to DNS and name servers Using Ensim Pro as a DNS server
When you create a new zone, Ensim Pro automatically creates an NS record for the zone’s name server, but if you intend to use a DNS server other than the Ensim Pro name server, you must change the NS record to reflect the name of that server. Also, if you intend to add additional remote DNS servers, you must create an NS record for each additional server.
Important: Add a Host (A) record before you create the NS record.
To add an NS record:
In the shortcuts section of the Home page, click Zones (DNS section).
In the Zone List form, locate the zone you want to add a record to, and in the Actions column, click . The Record List form opens. It displays all existing records for the zone.
Click Add NS Record. The Update Name Server (NS) Record form opens.
Optional: If you are creating a subdomain, enter the name of the subdomain in the Name Server Zone field; for example, ShoppingMall.acme.east.com.
Note: You must create the subdomain first, if you intend to use one.
In the Name server field, enter the host name of the DNS server responsible for the DNS resolution of this subdomain.
Click Add.
