List of DNS Records

Already I have discussed here What is DNS Records Now let us see the List of  DNS Records

types-of-DNS

A Record : Address Record (1)
Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host.

AAAA Record : IPv6 Address Record (28)
Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address.

AFSDB Record : AFS Database Record (18)
Location of database servers of an AFS cell. This record is commonly used by AFS clients to contact AFS cells outside their local domain.

CERT Record : Certificate Record (37)
Stores information like PKIX, SPKI, PGP, etc.

CNAME Record : Canonical Name Record (5)
Alias of one name to another: the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name.

DHCID Record : DHCP Identifier (49)
Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP.

DNAME Record : delegation Name (39)
DNAME will delegate an entire portion of the DNS tree under a new name.

DNSKEY Record : DNS Key Record (48)
The key record used in DNSSEC. Uses the same format as the KEY record.

DS Record : Delegation Signer (43)
The record used to identify the DNSSEC signing key of a delegated zone.

HIP Record : Host Identity Protocol (55)
Method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses.

IPSECKEY Record : IPSEC Key (45)
Key record that can be used with IPSEC.

KEY Record : Key Record (25)
Used only for TKEY.

LOC Record : Location Record (29)
Specifies a geographical location associated with a domain name.

MX Record : mail exchange Record (15)
Maps a domain name to a list of mail exchange servers for that domain.

NAPTR Record : name server Record (2)
Delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers.

NSEC Record : Next-Secure Record (47)
Part of DNSSEC—used to prove a name does not exist. Uses the same format as the (obsolete) NXT record.

NSEC3 Record : NSEC Record Version 3 (51)
Parameter record for use with NSEC3.

PTR Record : pointer Record (12)
Pointer to a canonical name. Unlike a CNAME, DNS processing does NOT proceed, just the name is returned. The most common use is for implementing reverse DNS lookups, but other uses include such things as DNS-SD.

RRSIG Record : DNSSEC Signature (46)
Signature for a DNSSEC-secured record set. Uses the same format as the SIG record.

SIG Record : Signature (24)
Signature record is used in SIG.

SOA Record : Start of Authority Record (6)
Specifies authoritative information about a DNS zone, including the primary name server, the email of the domain administrator, the domain serial number, and several timers relating to refreshing the zone.

SPF Record : SPF Record (99)
Specified as part of the SPF protocol, as an alternative to storing SPF data in TXT records. Uses the same format as the TXT record.

SRV Record : Service Locator (33)
Generalized service location record, used for newer protocols instead of creating protocol-specific records such as MX.

SSHFP Record : SSH Public Key Fingerprint (44)
Resource record for publishing SSH public host key fingerprints in the DNS System, in order to aid in verifying the authenticity of the host.

TXT Record : Text Record (16)
Originally for arbitrary human-readable text in a DNS record. Since the early 1990s, however, this record more often carries machine-readable data, opportunistic encryption, Sender Policy Framework (deprecated), DomainKeys, DNS-SD, etc.
