    • DNS management
      How to manage DNS zones and records on SoftLayer's DNS system.

    reference

    • convertToPrimary
      A secondary DNS record may be converted to a primary DNS record. By converting a secondary DNS record, the SoftLayer name servers will be the authoritative nameserver for this domain and will be directly editable in the SoftLayer API and Portal. Primary DNS record conversion performs the following steps: * The SOA record is updated with SoftLayer's primary name server. * All NS records are removed and replaced with SoftLayer's NS records. * The secondary DNS record is removed. After the DNS records are converted, the following restrictions will apply to the new domain record: * You will need to manage the zone record using the [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain) service. * You may not edit the SOA or NS records. * You may only edit the following resource records: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TX, SRV. This change can not be undone, and the record can not be converted back into a secondary DNS record once the conversion is complete.

    • createObject
      Create a new domain on the SoftLayer name servers. The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain object passed to this function must have at least one A or AAAA resource record. createObject creates a default SOA record with the data: * '''host''': '@' * '''data''': 'ns1.softlayer.com.' * '''responsible person''': 'root.[your domain name].' * '''expire''': 604800 seconds * '''refresh''': 3600 seconds * '''retry''': 300 seconds * '''minimum''': 3600 seconds If your new domain uses the .de top-level domain then SOA refresh is set to 10000 seconds, retry is set to 1800 seconds, and minimum to 10000 seconds. If your domain doesn't contain NS resource records for ns1.softlayer.com or ns2.softlayer.com then ''createObject'' will create them for you. ''createObject'' returns a Boolean ''true'' on successful object creation or ''false'' if your domain was unable to be created..

    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain data type represents a single DNS domain record hosted on the SoftLayer nameservers. Domains contain general information about the domain name such as name and serial. Individual records such as A, AAAA, CTYPE, and MX records are stored in the domain's associated [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord) records.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain
      SoftLayer customers have the option of hosting DNS domains on the SoftLayer name servers. Individual domains hosted on the SoftLayer name servers are handled through the SoftLayer_Dns_Domain service. Domain changes are applied automatically by our nameservers, but changes may not be received by the other name servers on the Internet for 72 hours after your change. The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain service does not apply to customers who run their own nameservers on servers purchased from SoftLayer. SoftLayer provides secondary DNS hosting services if you wish to maintain DNS records on your name server, but have records replicated on SoftLayer's name servers. Use the [SoftLayer_Dns_Secondary](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Secondary) service to manage secondary DNS zones and transfers.

    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord data type represents a single resource record entry in a SoftLayer hosted domain. Each resource record contains a ''host'' and ''data'' property, defining a resource's name and it's target data. Domains contain multiple types of resource records. The ''type'' property separates out resource records by type. ''Type'' can take one of the following values: * ''''a'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_AType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_AType) records * ''''aaaa'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_AaaaType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_AaaaType) records * ''''cname'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_CnameType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_CnameType) records * ''''mx'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_MxType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_MxType) records * ''''ns'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_NsType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_NsType) records * ''''ptr'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_PtrType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_PtrType) records in reverse domains * ''''soa'''' for a domain's [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SoaType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SoaType) record * ''''spf'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SpfType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SpfType) records * ''''srv'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SrvType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SrvType) records * ''''txt'''' for [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_TxtType](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_TxtType) records As ''SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord'' objects are created and loaded, the API verifies the ''type'' property and casts the object as the appropriate type.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord
      Every domain record hosted on the SoftLayer name servers is comprised of a series or resource records that control how the domain operates, translates host names, and translates service location. Each of those resource records is controlled by the SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord service. SoftLayer domains have the following resource records: * A single SOA record * A records * AAAA records * Optional CNAME records * At least one MX record * NS records for ns1.softlayer.com and ns2.softlayer.com * Optional TXT records * Optional SPF records The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecords service also controls the records contained in reverse DNS records. SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_Reverse records contain multiple PTR type resource records. As with domain changes, resource record changes happen immediately, but may take up to 72 hours to propagate to the rest of the Internet's name servers. The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord service only applies to domains hosted on the SoftLayer name servers.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_AaaaType
      SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_AaaaType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose ''type'' property is set to 'aaaa' and defines a DNS AAAA record on a SoftLayer hosted domain. An AAAA record directs a host name to an IPv6 address. For instance if the AAAA record for 'host.example.org' points to the IPv6 address 'fe80:0:0:0:0:0:a00:0' then the ''host'' property for the AAAA record equals 'host' and the ''data'' property equals 'fe80:0:0:0:0:0:a00:0'.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_AType
      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'.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_CnameType
      SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_CnameType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose ''type'' property is set to 'cname' and defines a DNS CNAME record on a SoftLayer hosted domain. A CNAME record directs a host name to another host. For instance, if the CNAME record for 'alias.example.org' points to the host 'host.example.org' then the ''host'' property equals 'alias' and the ''data'' property equals 'host.example.org.'. DNS entries defined by CNAME should not be used as the data field for an MX record.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_MxType
      SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_MxType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose ''type'' property is set to 'mx' and used to describe MX resource records. MX records control which hosts are responsible as mail exchangers for a domain. For instance, in the domain example.org, an MX record whose host is '@' and data is 'mail' says that the host 'mail.example.org' is responsible for handling mail for example.org. That means mail sent to users @example.org are delivered to mail.example.org. Domains can have more than one MX record if it uses more than one server to send mail through. Multiple MX records are denoted by their priority, defined by the mxPriority property. MX records must be defined for hosts with accompanying A or AAAA resource records. They may not point mail towards a host defined by a CNAME record.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_MxType
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_MxType service controls the creation, modification, and deletion of MX records within a domain hosted on SoftLayer's DNS servers. It exists separately from the SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord to provide control for MX priority in addition to host, data, and time-to-live.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_NsType
      SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_NsType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose ''type'' property is set to 'ns' and defines a DNS NS record on a SoftLayer hosted domain. An NS record defines the authoritative name server for a domain. All SoftLayer hosted domains contain NS records for 'ns1.softlayer.com' and 'ns2.softlayer.com' . For instance, if example.org is hosted on ns1.softlayer.com, then example.org contains an NS record whose ''host'' property equals '@' and whose ''data'' property equals 'ns1.example.org'. NS resource records pointing to ns1.softlayer.com or ns2.softlayer.com many not be removed from a SoftLayer hosted domain.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_PtrType
      SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_PtrType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose ''type'' property is set to 'ptr' and defines a reverse DNS PTR record on the SoftLayer name servers. The format for a reverse DNS PTR record varies based on whether it is for an IPv4 or IPv6 address. For an IPv4 address the ''host'' property for every PTR record is the last octet of the IP address that the PTR record belongs to, while the ''data'' property is the canonical name of the host that the reverse lookup resolves to. Every PTR record belongs to a domain on the SoftLayer name servers named by the first three octets of an IP address in reverse order followed by '.in-addr.arpa'. For instance, if the reverse DNS record for 10.0.0.1 is 'host.example.org' then it's corresponding SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_PtrType host is '1', while it's data property equals 'host.example.org'. The full name of the reverse record for host.example.org including the domain name is '1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa'. For an IPv6 address the ''host'' property for every PTR record is the last four octets of the IP address that the PTR record belongs to. The last four octets need to be in reversed order and each digit separated by a period. The ''data'' property is the canonical name of the host that the reverse lookup resolves to. Every PTR record belongs to a domain on the SoftLayer name servers named by the first four octets of an IP address in reverse order, split up by digit with a period, and followed by '.ip6.arpa'. For instance, if the reverse DNS record for fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0a00:0001 is 'host.example.org' then it's corresponding SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_PtrType host is '1.0.0.0.0.0.a.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0', while it's data property equals 'host.example.org'. The full name of the reverse record for host.example.org including the domain name is '1.0.0.0.0.0.a.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa'. PTR record host names may not be changed by [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord::editObject](/reference/datatypes/$1/#$2) or [SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord::editObjects](/reference/datatypes/$1/#$2).
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SoaType
      SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SoaType defines a domains' Start of Authority (or SOA) resource record. A domain's SOA record contains a domain's general and propagation information. Every domain must have one SOA record, and it is not possible to remove a domain's SOA record. SOA records typically contain a domain's serial number, but the SoftLayer API associates a domain's serial number directly with it's SoftLayer_Dns_Domain record.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SpfType
      SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SpfType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose ''type'' property is set to 'spf' and defines a DNS SPF record on a SoftLayer hosted domain. An SPF record provides sender policy framework data for a host. For instance, if defining the SPF record 'v=spf1 mx:mail.example.org ~all' for 'host.example.org'. then the ''host'' property equals 'host' and the ''data'' property equals 'v=spf1 mx:mail.example.org ~all'. SPF records are commonly used in email verification methods such as Sender Policy Framework.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SrvType
      SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SrvType is a SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord object whose ''type'' property is set to 'srv' and defines a DNS SRV record on a SoftLayer hosted domain.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SrvType
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_SrvType service controls the creation, modification, and deletion of SRV records within a domain hosted on SoftLayer's DNS servers. It exists separately from the SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord to provide control for SRV priority, port, protocol, service, and weight in addition to host, data, and time-to-live.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord_TxtType
      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.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_Reverse
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_Reverse data type represents a reverse IP address record.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_Reverse_Version4
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_Reverse_Version4 data type represents a reverse IPv4 address record.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_Reverse_Version6
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_Reverse_Version6 data type represents a reverse IPv6 address record.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Message
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Message data type contains information for a single message generated by the SoftLayer DNS system. SoftLayer_Dns_Messages are typically created during the secondary DNS transfer process.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Secondary
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Secondary data type contains information on a single secondary DNS zone which is managed through SoftLayer's zone transfer service. Domains created via zone transfer may not be modified by the SoftLayer portal or API.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Secondary
      SoftLayer's secondary DNS service allows you to use SoftLayer's name servers as a secondary server to your domain's name servers. This is accomplished through the use of zone transfers. Each record created within the secondary DNS service defines which zone is transferred, what server it is transferred from, and the frequency that zone transfers occur at. Zone transfers are performed automatically based on the transfer frequency set on the secondary DNS record. Domains created via zone transfer may not be modified by the SoftLayer portal or API. The secondary DNS service also provides the ability to manually initiate a zone transfer through the [SoftLayer_Dns_Secondary::transferNow](/reference/datatypes/$1/#$2) method. The daemon that performs zone transfers runs once a minute, therefore it could take a full minute for the zone transfer to be completed. Secondary DNS transfers may periodically generate notification or error messages. Please use the [SoftLayer_Dns_Message](/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Dns_Message) service to retrieve these notifications.
    • SoftLayer_Dns_Status
      The SoftLayer_Dns_Status data type contains information for a DNS status
    • transferNow
      Force a secondary DNS zone transfer by setting it's status 'Transfer Now'. A zone transfer will be initiated within a minute of receiving this API call.
