Usage

An example configuration:

{% code title="dnsconfig.js" %}

var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none");
var DSP_LINODE = NewDnsProvider("linode");

    A("test", "1.2.3.4")

Caveats

Linode does not allow all TTLs, but only a specific subset of TTLs. The following TTLs are supported (source):

• 300
• 3600
• 7200
• 14400
• 28800
• 57600
• 86400
• 172800
• 345600
• 604800
• 1209600
• 2419200

The provider will automatically round up your TTL to one of these values. For example, 600 seconds would become 3600 seconds, but 300 seconds would stay 300 seconds.
