A naming restriction is a list of words that cannot be used as part of a
resource record name. Use naming restrictions to prevent reserved or undesirable words from
being used in resource record names.
You can add naming restrictions to a naming policy at any time; you do not need to
create naming restrictions before you create a naming policy.
To create a naming restriction:
-
Select the Administration tab. Tabs remember the
page you last worked on, so select the tab again to ensure you're on the
Administration page.
-
Under General, click Naming Policy
Management.
-
Click the Naming Restrictions tab.
-
Under Naming Restriction, click
New.
-
Under General, complete the following:
- Name—enter a descriptive name for the naming
restriction.
- Restriction List From File—click browse to import
restricted values from a text file. Importing a restricted values text
file overwrites any existing values in the restriction list. A dialog
box opens. Select a file and click Open.
- Enter Restriction List Manually—select to add
restricted values manually. Create the values using these fields:
- Value—enter a word you want to
restrict.
- Match Type—select a matching option:
- Any—any words containing the
specified value are restricted. For example, for the
value arm, the words arm, armed, and disarm are all
restricted by the naming policy.
- Exact—only exact matches of the
specified value are restricted. For example, for the
restricted word arm, only arm is restricted by the
naming policy. The naming policy allows the use of armed
and disarm.
