`DOMAIN_ELSEWHERE()` is a helper macro that lets you easily indicate that
|
||
|
|
a domain's zones are managed elsewhere. That is, it permits you easily delegate
|
||
|
|
a domain to a hard-coded list of DNS servers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`DOMAIN_ELSEWHERE` is useful when you control a domain's registrar but not the
|
||
|
|
DNS servers. For example, suppose you own a domain but the DNS servers are run
|
||
|
|
by someone else, perhaps a SaaS product you've subscribed to or a DNS server
|
||
|
|
that is run by your brother-in-law who doesn't trust you with the API keys that
|
||
|
|
would let you maintain the domain using DNSControl. You need an easy way to
|
||
|
|
point (delegate) the domain at a specific list of DNS servers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example these two statements are equivalent:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
DOMAIN_ELSEWHERE("example.com", REG_NAMEDOTCOM, ["ns1.foo.com", "ns2.foo.com"]);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# ...is equivalent to...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
D("example.com", REG_NAMEDOTCOM,
|
||
|
|
NO_PURGE,
|
||
|
|
NAMESERVER("ns1.foo.com"),
|
||
|
|
NAMESERVER("ns2.foo.com")
|
||
|
|
);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: The `NO_PURGE` is used out of abundance of caution but since no
|
||
|
|
`DnsProvider()` statements exist, no updates would be performed.
