Delegation
We
can host your domain name on our server,
and manage your
domain name records including:
- NS (Name Servers)
- MX (Email)
- A (Host)
-
CNAME (Alias)
- PTR (Reverse DNS)
In
order to update your NS records to point your domain to our
server,
we will require your domain
name password, also known as a registry key.
This can be recovered from our registrar page
All com.au & net.au
domain names delegated to our servers are transferred to one of our
auDA accredited registrars at no cost.
Please note that the
domain TTL (Time To Live) records
will determine how long
it takes for a record change to update
through the Internet.
Our SOA (Zone of Authority) default is 86,400 seconds (24 hours)
NS
Records
The NS (Name Server) records specify
where the domain is hosted.
By default these are the Netro
DNS servers:
picard.netro.com.au
kirk.netro.com.au
In order for us to update your MX, A or CNAME records, the
domain must be hosted at Netro.
If the NS records are blank,
your domain won't be active on the Internet.
If you require
support for your domain hosted at another provider,
refer to
our extended support options.
MX
Records
The MX (Mail Exchange) record determines
which server email is sent to.
By default this is the Netro
mail server, for delivery to a POP (Post Office Protocol) Account
The default Netro servers are:
10 mx1.netro.com.au
20
mx2.netro.com.au
If you would like email sent directly
to your own mail server,
please specify the
hostname, make sure that the reverse DNS record matches.
A
Records
An A Record is used to resolve a
hostname to an IP address, such as:
www (web server)
intranet (internal web server)
proxy (caching server)
