Well there are a few more... 'TXT' for text records,  for ipv6 A
records... there are probably more, check the RFC's...

I know that there are a lot more but those are the one's we're actually 
using currently.

dns records

2003-04-06 Thread Markus Welsch
hi all,
i have a few questions regarding dns records for using in a mysql db.the 
current layout looks like this:

class   CH
HS
IN
data
name
preference
ttl
typeA
CNAME
MX
NS
PTR
SOA
The class is not really required. Regarding the type, that are all the 
types currently in use. If you do a lookup of e. g. www.debian.org at
http://www.network-tools.com/nslook/Default.asp?domain=www.debian.org&type=255&server=66.46.181.133&class=255&port=53&advanced=true 
you will see more clear what each field exactly means.

I thought of using enum for the type, varchar for data and name, 
smallint (2) for preference, varchar(8) for ttl since it could be 
alpha-numeric.

How large can a preference be (MX records) ?
What about the length of data and name ?

Greetings,
Markus
