To export and import text files containing record configurations, go to the technical data sheet for the DNS and click on "
Modify" under the DNS name.
Click on "EXPORT".
A file called "records.txt" will be generated, containing the configured settings for that specific DNS record.
Click on "IMPORT".
A pop up window "Import DNS Records" will appear asking to select the encoded .txt file and confirm by clicking "UPLOAD".
If this operation fails, we recommend checking that the parameters entered in the .txt file which you are trying to upload, are correct.
This is an example of a file generated for a DNS associated with the cloud.it domain
A www.cloud.it 192.168.0.3 86400
AAAA mail.cloud.it 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344 86400
CNAME ftp.cloud.it ftp.example.net 86400
TXT ftp.cloud.it Located in an Italian server farm 86400
MX us.cloud.it mail.us.cloud.it 86400 70
MX cloud.it mail.cloud.it 86400 20
NS cloud.it dns1.cloud.it 888
SOA cloud.it dns1.cloud.it hostmaster.cloud.it 0 28800 7200 604800 86400 86400
SRV _http._tcp.cloud.it 5 80 www.cloud.it 86400 20
SPF cloud.it v=spf1 cloud.it -all 86400
The various parameters of each record are separated by (
][) spaces and (
<>) spacing tabs and the records are coded as follows:
A<>host.domainname<>IPv4address<>TTL
AAAA<>host.domainname<>IPv6address<>TTL
CNAME<>host.domainname<>CNAME<>TTL
TXT<>host.domainname<>TXT<>TTL
MX<>host.domainname<>Host<>TTL<>priority
NS<>domainname<>Host<>TTL
SOA<>domainname<>primaryDNS][Contact][SerialNumber][Refresh][Retry][Expire][Minimum<>TTL
SRV<>host.domainname<>Weight][Port][Target<>priorità
SPF<>host.domainname<>Text<>TTL
