Adding Downstream Servers to a Primary DNS Zone
Set up secondary egress from OCI DNS to an external DNS provider.
Obtain the following items before you begin:
- IP addresses of the external downstream servers.
- (Optional) TSIG keys to assign to each downstream server.
- Connectivity on externally managed primary DNS servers to OCI egress nameservers. The OCI nameservers perform the required zone transfers that keep the secondary zone in sync. ListZoneTransferServers returns a list of OCI egress nameserver IP addresses provided for the specified root compartment. The provided transfer name server IP addresses vary by region.
See Secondary DNS for more information and a feature overview.
Use the zone update command and required parameters to update the external secondary (downstream) servers for a zone:
oci dns zone update --zone-name-or-id zone_name or zone_OCID --external-downstream '[{"address":"new_external_server_ip"}]' ... [OPTIONS]
For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
Run the UpdateZone operation to update the external secondary (downstream) servers for a zone.
