A naming policy is a collection of rules that controls the names that may be assigned to DNS resource records. Naming policies can be used to enforce a naming convention and to prevent restricted words from being used in resource record names.

A naming policy is defined by assembling one or more naming policy values into the required name structure.

To create a naming policy:

  1. Select the Settings tab in the sidebar.
  2. Under DNS settings, select Naming policies.
  3. Select New.
  4. Under General, complete the following:
    • Name—enter a descriptive name for the naming policy.
  5. On the Policy values tab, complete the following:
    • Policy values—if you have defined naming policy values, select the name of a naming policy value and select the Add (+) button to add it to the naming policy. Repeat this step to add additional items to the naming policy. Select the Remove (X) button to remove an item from the naming policy.
  6. On the Naming restrictions tab, complete the following:
    • Naming restrictions—if you have defined naming restrictions, select the name of a naming restriction and select the Add (+) button to add it to the naming policy. Repeat this step to add additional items to the naming policy. Select the Remove (X) button to remove an item from the naming policy.
  7. In the Change control section, add comments if required.
  8. Select Create to create the naming policy and return to the naming policy page. Select Create and add another to create the naming policy and remain in the window to create additional naming policies.
