For users who wish to run our service with external slave servers or together with a third-party DNS hosting provider for extra redundancy, we have configured an AXFR transfer service.
A new slave function was added to our API which allows simple addition of slave name servers to each zone.
Syntax:
-- @name = slave name (domain name or fqdn)
-- @ip = slave ip address (IPv4 address used to configure ACLs and for NOTIFY messages)
-- @ttl = TTL (seconds)
slave(name, ip, ttl)
Usage:
- For slaves residing in your your zone use:
slave("ns1", "1.1.1.1"), A and NS records will be created automatically. - For slaves from third-party services use:
slave("ns1.third-party-ns.com", "2.2.2.1"), NS records will be created automatically.
To add multiple slaves invoke slave function multiple times.
Slave servers should be configured to fetch zone data from axfr.luadns.net (IP: 108.61.179.251).
Example:
-- File: example.com.lua
-- Zone: example.com
-- [...]
-- Add two slave servers (ns1.example.com, ns2.example.com)
-- required A and NS records are created automatically
slave("ns1", "1.1.1.1")
slave("ns2", "1.1.1.2")
-- Add two external slave servers
-- required NS records are created automatically
slave("ns1.third-party-ns.com", "2.2.2.1")
slave("ns1.third-party-ns.com", "2.2.2.2")
-- Please, configure your ACLs on slave servers
-- to use axfr.luadns.net or IP 108.61.179.251.
