LONE Edge DNS Overview

LONE Edge DNS provides anycast network to provide protection and redundancy for your digital services.

DNS(Domain Name Servers) is that critical layer providing connections from your domain to custom services, with built-in health checks and redundancy your services run smooth and adapt to change without interruption.

Anycast network routes requests closer to the user requesting your services(ie, website, app...), reducing latency and making for a quicker and smoother experience. Network interconnects with edge access points globally, providing smart routing and fault tolerance, as a failed node is automatically routed to the nearest edge.

DNS Record Types

LONE Edge DNS Add MX Records

Different types of Records point to different services, such as MX(Mail Exchanger) points to mail server.

Here is a list of available records on LoneSync Managed DNS.

A record - points your domain to the IPv4 of your website, app and or other service.

AAAA record - points your domain to the IPv6 of your website, app and or other service.

CNAME record - points your domain to the hostname of your website, app and or other service. Here instead of pointing directly to the IP, this points to a hostname which then resolves to an IP location. Benefit here is that if the IP changes this record follows that change with no intervention required.

CAA record - Certificate Authority Authorization restricts Certificate registration for added protection.

DS record - Delegation Signer secures DNSSEC Delegations.

MX record - points your domain to the Mail Server for receiving email, also called the Mail Exchanger record.

NS record - points the domain to DNS servers used and therefore resolving all record types for your domain.

PTR record - points to the reverse hostname of the IP, typically used for reverse lookup on mail servers.

SOA record - points to the Start of Authority for your Domain. Contains a name server along with global parameters of the domain setup.

SRV record - points to servers for various services relating to apps such as chat, online meeting and so on.

TLSA record - points to the Associated TLS(Transport Layer of Security) Certificates of a Domain.

TXT record - is used for a number of domain verification methods, such as SPF, DMARC and DKIM.
