The following lists the generic resource record types that can be configured in Address Manager.
| Record Type | Description |
|---|---|
| A (IPv4 Address) | Maps hosts to IPv4 addresses. |
| A6 (IPv6 Address) | Maps hosts to IPv6 addresses. |
| AAAA (IPv6 Address) | Maps hosts to IPv6 addresses. Normally, this record is created by adding a host record in Address Manager and linking it to an IPv6 address. |
| AFSDB (AFS Database) | Defines a host providing an AFS database service. |
| APL (Address Prefix List) | An experimental resource record defining one or more IP addresses or a range of IP addresses. |
| CAA (Certificate Authority Authorization) | Defines one or more Certification Authorities (CAs) that are authorized to issue certificates for a specific domain. |
| CERT (Certificate) | Stores cryptographic certificates and certificate revocation lists. |
| DHCID (Dynamic Host Configuration Identifier) | Stores client identifiers in the DNS to unambiguously associate domain names with the DHCP clients using them. |
| DNAME (Delegation of Reverse Names) | Maps an entire subtree of the DNS namespace to another domain. |
| DS (Delegation Signer) | Creates a chain of trust between a signed parent zone and a signed child zone in DNSSEC. |
| IPSECKEY (IP Security Key) | Store public keys for IP security systems. |
| ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) | Associates the telephone number of the ISDS Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) to a host name. |
| Key (Public Key) | Stores public keys in DNS. |
| KX (Key Exchanger) | Allows a client to query a host and receive alternative hosts. |
| LOC (Location) | Defines the geographic position of a host or service name. |
| MB (Mailbox) | Defines the location of an email address. |
| MG (Mail Group) | Defines the members of a mail group. Provided members of the group are defined using MB resource records, each member of the group receives mail sent to the group. |
| MINFO (Mailbox Mail List Information) | Defines the mailbox administrator for a mail list. It can also be used for receiving errors related to the mail list. |
| MR (Mailbox Renamed) | Allows you to alias or forward a mailbox name to another mailbox name. |
| NS (Name Server) | Defines a DNS server that responds authoritatively for the zone or domain. |
| NSAP (Network Service Access Point) | Maps a host name to an endpoint address in ISO’s Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) system. |
| PTR (Pointer) | Provides a reverse mapping of an IP address to a host name. |
| PX (X.400 to RFC 822 E-mail) | Maps ITU X.400 format email addresses to RFC 822 format email addresses. |
| RP (Responsible Person) | Associates an email address and optional human-readable text data with a host. |
| RT (Route Through) | Defines a host through which datagrams should be routed. |
| SINK (Kitchen Sink) | Contains bulky, complex, or obscurely structured DNS data, for which no other resource record type currently exists. |
| SPF (Sender Policy Framework) | Used to verify that a host can use a domain name to send email. |
| SSHFP (SSH Key Fingerprint) | Provides a method for a host to obtain the fingerprint (hash or digest) of the public key used in an SSH session. |
| TLSA (Transport Layer Security Authentication) | Specifically for use with DANE (DNS-based Authentication for Named Entities) protocol, the TLSA record associates a TLS server certificate or public key with the domain name from which the certificate originates using DNSSEC for validation. For more information, refer to DANE. |
| WKS (Well-Known Service) | Describes the well-known services supported by a particular protocol by a host. |
| X25 (X.25 Address) | Maps a PSDN (Public Switched Data Network) address to a host name. |
