DNS records and the zone file
The DBLinx System Health screen shows every DNS record your domain needs, with its name, value and description. You can add the records to your DNS management panel one by one, or download them as a zone file and pass it to your DNS owner: either all domains in one file, or each domain in its own file.

What is adding DNS records and the zone file?
The DBLinx System Health screen shows every DNS record your domain needs, with its name, value and description. Who can do this: the organization's tenant administrators; the DNS owner may handle adding the records to DNS. Once the records are complete, the screen shows "Your records are all set. Your address is being activated"; the domain goes live within a few seconds.
Steps
