DnsProvider indicates that the specified provider should be used to manage records for this domain. The name must match the name used with .
The nsCount parameter determines how the nameservers will be managed from this provider.
Leaving the parameter out means "fetch and use all nameservers from this provider as authoritative". ie: DnsProvider("name")
Using 0
for nsCount means "do not fetch nameservers from this domain, or give them to the registrar".
Using a different number, ie: DnsProvider("name",2)
, means "fetch all nameservers from this provider, but limit it to this many.
See for a detailed explanation of how DNSControl handles nameservers and NS records.
If a domain (D()
) does not include any DnsProvider()
functions, the DNS records will not be modified. In fact, if you want to control the Registrar for a domain but not the DNS records themselves, simply do not include a DnsProvider()
function for that D()
