Viewing Your Domain

Once a domain has been created, you can begin to add your records (in addition to those that were created by default by the UI, or that you may have imported or copied over) and configure your domain.

The UI Portal creates two default Name Server (NS) records, which in turn, determine which name servers are authoritative for the zone. A Start of Authority (SOA) record is also created, and can be found under the Properties tab.

1. Domain Name - Displays the domain name you are currently viewing.

2. Search Filter - Allows you to search for a Record or Pool Name, an IP Address, or a TTL value.

3. Filter on Type - Using the drop-down menu, you can select to filter the viewable record details to:

   1. All Records/Pools

   2. All Records

   3. All Pools

   4. RD Pools

   5. Simple Failover

   6. Simple Load Balancing

   7. SiteBacker

   8. Traffic Controller

   9. Directional

4. Records Tab - Displays the record types supported on the Managed Services Portal, along with any records you have already created or imported.

5. Properties - Displays the general properties configured for your domain, including SOA Record details and Aliased Domains.

6. DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) - Enables the ability to Sign your domain/zone, and display Key details.

7. Zone Transfer - Displays the Restrict IPs, Name Server Notify Addresses, as well as the TSIG Key (if used) for your domain.

8. Snapshot - In UltraDNS, a backup is also known as a Snapshot. A zone snapshot represents the state of a zone (i.e. primarily its RRSet configuration) at the time the Snapshot is created.

9. Bulk Import - An alternative method to creating individual records is to import records. Using the Bulk Import feature, you can upload a BIND file that contains your record details.

10. Add Record - Click the Add Record button to begin creating your records. If instead you need to create a Pool (of records), click the Add Pool button, assuming that the record type supports Pools.
