Zone records at apex
Are zone records at the apex an issue? I am using dnscontrol to manage a series of domains dns.
However, dnscontrol is automatically attempting to add nameserver records, and sometimes succeeding...
Asked this question of support already but their automated answer was that this was a known feature, which seems kind of wrong.
correct nameserver records are blue.foundationdns.net/org/com
blue.foundationdns.net - gets added to zone
blue.foundationdns.org - gets added to zone
blue.foundationdns.com - fails ("ns records at the apex must not overwrite assigned nameservers")
This exact same behaviour can be replicated via the web ui, which makes sense. But, the bigger issue is when dnscontrol has added this to hundreds of zones, and I just want to validate whether this is really a known 'feature' or whether it is something to be concerned about.
