What is an "A" record?
An "A" record, also called an "address" record, links a human readable name (e.g. www.example.com) to a computer IP address.
There are three values that must be specified for an A record:
- Name - The host name of the record (e.g. www)
- TTL - The time of live, if not specified the default for the zone will be used
- IP - Indicates the IP which this record is mapped to. For example, 192.168.0.1
DNS-Engine supports multiple IPs per host name for routing and round robin.
