# Configure DNS Records

> The complete reference for every record type Stackryze supports.

Stackryze supports every standard DNS record type plus the modern ones (SVCB, HTTPS, TLSA) the rest of the industry is still catching up to.

## Classic records

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A and AAAA" icon="globe">
    Map a name to an IPv4 (`A`) or IPv6 (`AAAA`) address.

    ```dns theme={null}
    example.com.       3600  IN  A     192.0.2.1
    api.example.com.   300   IN  AAAA  2001:db8::1
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="CNAME and DNAME" icon="shuffle">
    Alias one name to another. `CNAME` is for the leftmost label; `DNAME` redirects the whole subtree.

    ```dns theme={null}
    www.example.com.  3600  IN  CNAME  example.com.
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="MX" icon="envelope">
    Mail exchange. Always pair with an `SPF` (TXT) record and sign with DKIM.

    ```dns theme={null}
    example.com.  3600  IN  MX  10  mail.example.com.
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="TXT" icon="quote-right">
    Free-form text. Used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain verification, and DNS-based ACME challenges.

    ```dns theme={null}
    example.com.  3600  IN  TXT  "v=spf1 include:_spf.stackryze.com ~all"
    _dmarc.example.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:dmarc@example.com"
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="NS" icon="diagram-project">
    Delegation. You almost never edit this by hand — Stackryze manages it for you.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="SRV" icon="signal">
    Service locator. Used for XMPP, SIP, Minecraft, Matrix, etc.

    ```dns theme={null}
    _minecraft._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 5 25565 mc.example.com.
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="CAA" icon="lock">
    Restrict which CAs may issue certificates for your domain.

    ```dns theme={null}
    example.com.  3600  IN  CAA  0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Modern records

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="SVCB and HTTPS" icon="rocket">
    Service bindings — the modern way to tell clients *how* to connect to your origin. Stackryze has full RFC 9460 + 9461 support including `alpn`, `port`, `ech`, `ipv4hint`, and `ipv6hint`.

    ```dns theme={null}
    example.com.  300  IN  HTTPS  1 . alpn="h2,h3" port=443 ipv4hint=192.0.2.1 ech="..."
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="TLSA" icon="shield-halved">
    DANE TLS association. Pin a CA, a leaf, or a certificate hash for a service.

    ```dns theme={null}
    _443._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN TLSA 3 1 1 abc123...
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="OPENPGPKEY" icon="key">
    Publish an OpenPGP key in DNS, so anyone can email you encrypted without a keyserver.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
