GTM - DNS question- subdomain

Hi MW,

 

 

Don't do it. DNS namespace (www.country.domainname.com) consists of labels delimited by periods. RFC 1912 states that "Allowable characters in a label for a host name are only ASCII letters, digits, and the `-' character." Adding periods to hostname labels will likely cause unexpected results for clients consuming your DNS services.

 

 

In full disclosure, I do this on my home network and it works for my purposes, but I'm the only who uses the DNS server. Definitely not something I would try in a production environment. If you'd like to automate the workload of adding a bunch zone to Zonerunner, consider writing an iControl script. Here is a thread with an example of using iControl to add zone files: Getting Error while using add_zone_file API for creating Management Zone.
