NSEC3 : NSEC record version 3 ( RFC 5155)
An extension to DNSSEC that allows proof of nonexistence for a name without permitting zonewalking |
AAAA : IPv6 address record ( RFC 3596)
Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host. |
TKEY : Transaction Key ( RFC 2930)
One way of providing a key to be used with TSIG |
PTR : pointer record ( RFC 1035)
Pointer to a canonical name. Unlike a CNAME, DNS processing does NOT proceed, just the name is returned. The most common use is for implementing reverse DNS lookups, but other uses include such things as DNS-SD. |
NSEC : Next-Secure record ( RFC 4034)
Part of DNSSEC—used to prove a name does not exist. Uses the same format as the (obsolete) NXT record. |
AXFR : Full Zone Transfer ( RFC 1035)
Transfer entire zone file from the master name server to secondary name servers. |
DLV : DNSSEC Lookaside Validation record ( RFC 4431)
For publishing DNSSEC trust anchors outside of the DNS delegation chain. Uses the same format as the DS record. RFC 5074 describes a way of using these records. |
NAPTR : Naming Authority Pointer ( RFC 3403)
Allows regular expression based rewriting of domain names which can then be used as URIs, further domain names to lookups, etc. |
NSEC3PARAM : NSEC3 parameters ( RFC 5155)
Parameter record for use with NSEC3 |
KEY : Key record ( RFC 4034)
Used only for TKEY (RFC 2930). Before RFC 3755 was published, this was also used for DNSSEC, but DNSSEC now uses DNSKEY. |
TSIG : Transaction Signature ( RFC 2845)
Record that supports one set of security mechanisms for DNS. Used to secure communication between DNS resolvers and Name servers, in contrast to DNSSEC, which secures the actual DNS records from the authoritative name server. |
CERT : Certificate record ( RFC 4398)
Stores PKIX, SPKI, PGP, etc. |
DS : Delegation signer ( RFC 4034)
The record used to identify the DNSSEC signing key of a delegated zone |
SRV : Service locator ( RFC 2782)
Generalized service location record, used for newer protocols instead of creating protocol-specific records such as MX. |
SIG : Signature ( RFC 2535)
Signature record used in SIG(0) (RFC 2931). Until RFC 3755 was published, the SIG record was part of DNSSEC; now RRSIG is used for that. |
LOC : Location record ( RFC 1876)
Specifies a geographical location associated with a domain name |
DNAME : delegation name ( RFC 2672)
DNAME will delegate an entire portion of the DNS tree under a new name. In contrast, the CNAME record creates an alias of a single name. Like the CNAME record, the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name. |
DHCID : DHCP identifier ( RFC 4701)
Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP |
