SOA

SOA adds an SOA record to a domain. The name should be @. ns and mbox are strings. The other fields are unsigned 32-bit ints.

dnsconfig.js

D("example.com", REG_MY_PROVIDER, DnsProvider(DSP_MY_PROVIDER),
  SOA("@", "ns3.example.com.", "[e-mail]", 3600, 600, 604800, 1440),
);

If you accidentally include an @ in the email field DNSControl will quietly change it to a .. This way you can specify a human-readable email address when you are making it easier for spammers how to find you.

Notes

• The serial number is managed automatically. It isn't even a field in SOA().

• Most providers automatically generate SOA records. They will ignore any SOA() statements.

• The mbox field should not be set to a real email address unless you love spam and hate your privacy.

There is more info about SOA in the documentation for the BIND provider.
