"SoftLayer_" prefix removed for readability.
SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_TxtType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose ‘’type’’ property is set to “txt” and defines a DNS TXT record on a SoftLayer hosted domain. A TXT record provides a text description for a host. For instance, if defining the TXT record “My test host” for “host.example.org”. then the ‘‘host’’ property equals “host” and the ‘‘data’’ property equals “My test host”.
TXT records are commonly used in email verification methods such as Sender Policy Framework.
The value of a domain’s resource record. This can be an IP address or a hostname. Fully qualified host and domain name data must end with the “.” character.
Type:
string
The amount of time in seconds that a secondary name server (or servers) will hold a zone before it is no longer considered authoritative.
Type:
int
The amount of time in seconds that a domain’s resource records are valid. This is also known as a minimum TTL, and can be overridden by an individual resource record’s TTL.
Type:
int
Useful in cases where a domain has more than one mail exchanger, the priority property is the priority of the MTA that delivers mail for a domain. A lower number denotes a higher priority, and mail will attempt to deliver through that MTA before moving to lower priority mail servers. Priority is defaulted to 10 upon resource record creation.
Type:
int
The amount of time in seconds that a secondary name server should wait to check for a new copy of a DNS zone from the domain’s primary name server. If a zone file has changed then the secondary DNS server will update it’s copy of the zone to match the primary DNS server’s zone.
Type:
int
The email address of the person responsible for a domain, with the “@” replaced with a “.”. For instance, if root@example.org is responsible for example.org, then example.org’s SOA responsibility is “root.example.org.”.
Type:
string
The amount of time in seconds that a domain’s primary name server (or servers) should wait if an attempt to refresh by a secondary name server failed before attempting to refresh a domain’s zone with that secondary name server again.
Type:
int
The Time To Live value of a resource record, measured in seconds. TTL is used by a name server to determine how long to cache a resource record. An SOA record’s TTL value defines the domain’s overall TTL.
Type:
int
A domain resource record’s type. A value of “a” denotes an A (address) record, “aaaa” denotes an AAAA (IPv6 address) record, “cname” denotes a CNAME (canonical name) record, “mx” denotes an MX (mail exchanger) record, “ns” denotes an NS (nameserver) record, “ptr” denotes a PTR (pointer/reverse) record, “soa” denotes the SOA (start of authority) record, “spf” denotes a SPF (sender policy framework) record, and “txt” denotes a TXT (text) record. A domain record’s type also denotes which class in the SoftLayer API is a best match for extending a resource record.
