DNS tasks

Start with Getting started, then choose migration for an existing domain or zone changes for additions and updates. The DNS overview groups all pages by task, including the related configuration formats and background.

• Getting started

  Set up Git access, clone your zones repository, and choose the next step for a new or existing domain.

• Identity and access

  How GitLab access is federated, for UAT and for production.

• Managing zone changes

  The branch, merge-request, and validation workflow for any zone change.

• Setting up aliases.yml

  Configure CNAME flattening for names that point to an external hostname rather than fixed IP addresses.

• Using your own nameserver names

  Use nameservers under your own domain while continuing to use CNX's authoritative DNS infrastructure.

• Migrating an existing domain to CNX DNS

  Pulling an existing live domain onto CNX DNS with no forced downtime.

• Publishing and updating DS records

  Publishing a zone's first DS record, and updating it during a KSK rollover.

• Verifying report integrity

  Independently verifying the KSK attestation and the daily RFC 3161 timestamp.

• DNS telemetry

  Continuous DNS event and query feeds for your SIEM or analytics platform.
