DNS records with "name" and "value" entries

MattShepherd

I'm trying to authorize an external email program (sender.net), and its DNS values have a "name" and a "value" field. Opalstack DNS setup just has the "value" field. Do I ignore "Name" or is there a way to combine the two in the "value" field in Opalstack?

MattShepherd You create the "name" by creating the entire subdomain for whatever DNS record you're trying to create.

For example if you need to create a CNAME record to point "some.weird.sub.domain.com" at "xyz.externalhost.com" you create "some.weird.sub.domain.com" as a new subdomain and then add the record to that.

This is explained in the note in step 2 at https://docs.opalstack.com/user-guide/domains/#adding-dns-records-manually.
