Overview
SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_AType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose type property is set to "a" and defines a DNS A record on a SoftLayer hosted domain. An A record directs a host name to an IP address. For instance if the A record for "host.example.org" points to the IP address 10.0.0.1 then the host property for the A record equals "host" and the data property equals "10.0.0.1".
