| DNS Examples |
| ============ |
| |
| Create an 'A' record for all your compute nodes |
| ----------------------------------------------- |
| |
| This example creates a new ``mydomain2.com`` zone at Zerigo and an A record |
| for all your Rackspace nodes. Value for the A record is the Node's first |
| public IP address. |
| |
| .. literalinclude:: /examples/dns/create_a_record_for_all_rackspace_nodes.py |
| :language: python |
| |
| Create a record with a custom TTL |
| --------------------------------- |
| |
| This example shows how to create a record with a custom TTL. Keep in mind that |
| not all of the providers support setting a custom, per record TTL. |
| |
| .. literalinclude:: /examples/dns/create_record_custom_ttl.py |
| :language: python |
| |
| Create a MX record and specify a priority |
| ----------------------------------------- |
| |
| Some record types such as ``MX`` and ``SRV`` allow you to specify priority. This |
| example shows how to do that. |
| |
| .. literalinclude:: /examples/dns/create_record_with_priority.py |
| :language: python |
| |
| Create a CAA record |
| ------------------- |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| Support for CAA record type has been introduced in Libcloud v3.1.0. At this |
| point it has only been implemented and tested with CloudFlare and Gandii |
| Live DNS drivers. |
| |
| When creating a CAA record, data fields needs to be in the following format: |
| ``<flags> <tag> <domain name / url>`` as shown below. |
| |
| .. literalinclude:: /examples/dns/create_record_caa_record_type.py |
| :language: python |
| |
| Export Libcloud Zone to BIND zone format |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| This functionality is only available in Libcloud 0.14.0 and above. |
| |
| This example shows how to export Libcloud Zone to bind format. |
| |
| Keep in mind that generated bind zone file content doesn't contain ``SOA`` and |
| ``NS`` records. This should work fine if you just want to import this file |
| using a DNS provider web interface, but if you want to use it with BIND you |
| need to manually add those records. |
