#### DNS Record

```dns-zone
bar.example.com.        CNAME  foo.example.com.
foo.example.com.        A      192.0.2.23
@                  IN   TXT    "some text"
```

RR: DNS Resource Record

> A DNS zone file contains the list of all Resource Records in the DNS zone. Format is defined in RFC1035 page 33 with an addendum in RFC2308. A unique SOA RR and at least one NS RR for the zone name are required. A complete RR is a quintuplet {FQDN\_NAME, TTL, CLASS, TYPE, RDATA} which can be in abbreviated form in some cases.
>
> * Comments start with a semicolon `;` and go to the end of line.
> * Empty lines are allowed; any combination of tabs and spaces acts as a delimiter.
> * RR are defined line by line as :
> * `[Name] [TTL] [CLASS] TYPE RDATA`
>   * if no `Name`, the name is taken from the last stated RR
>   * if `Name` exists, it starts at the first character of the line
>   * if `Name` is not dot-terminated (non FQDN), the default domain name defined by `$ORIGIN` directives is concatenated to `Name`
>   * if no `TTL`, the TTL is defined by `$TTL` directives.
>   * if no `CLASS`, the CLASS is taken from the last stated RR
>   * `TTL` and `CLASS` can be exchanged.
> * `$TTL integer_value` sets the default value of TTL for following RRs in file (RFC2308, bind>8.1)
> * `$ORIGIN fqdn_name` sets the default value of domain name for following RRs in file. Initially, in BIND, the value is set to the current zone name.
> * `$INCLUDE filename` inserts the named file into the current file. NB: be careful about value of `$TTL` or `$ORIGIN` after a `$INCLUDE`
> * `@` is used to denote the current default domain name.
> * `(` and `)` are used to group data that crosses a line boundary. Line terminations are not recognized within parentheses
> * `\` is used to quote special characters. Ex : `\.` can be used to place a dot character in a label; `\223` is the 8-bit character corresponding to decimal value 223.
>
> Stylistic hints:
>
> * Organize RR : Start with SOA, NS and MX of the zone, continue with delegation (NS) and glue. Group RR by names.
> * Comments are useful
> * Use spaces or tabulations for vertical alignment
> * Start file with a `$ORIGIN` and a `$TTL`
> * Try to avoid writing of the zone name in the file
> * Generate serial number in SOA as : year/month/day/version 4+2+2+2.
> * **BE CAREFUL**: Modify the serial number each time the master file is modified

`CNAME` can't be used for apex domain (aka bare domain or naked domain, ex: example.com):
