# See #NS # = Name Server Record (NS) # # Defined in RFC 1035. NS RRs appear in two places. Within the zone file, in # which case they are authoritative records for the zone's name servers. At the # point of delegation for either a subdomain of the zone or in the zone's # parent. Thus the zone example.com's parent zone (.com) will contain # non-authoritative NS RRs for the zone example.com at its point of delegation # and subdomain.example.com will have non-authoritative NS RSS in the zone # example.com at its point of delegation. NS RRs at the point of delegation are # never authoritative only NS RRs for the zone are regarded as authoritative. # While this may look a fairly trivial point, is has important implications for # DNSSEC. # # NS RRs are required because DNS queries respond with an authority section # listing all the authoritative name servers, for sub-domains or queries to the # zones parent where they are required to allow referral to take place. # # Obtained from http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch8/ns.html # class NS < Record has_paper_trail validates :name, :hostname => {:allow_underscore => true} validates :content, :presence => true, :hostname => true #, :inclusion => {:in => Settings.ns} def to_label; "#{content}" end end Ns = NS
