- Changed the URL of the ClouDNS document from "asia.cloudns.net" to "www.cloudns.net". - A little addition about TTL.

ClouDNS Provider
Configuration
In your credentials file, you must provide your Api user ID and password.
Current version of provider doesn't support sub-auth-user
.
{% highlight json %} { "cloudns": { "auth-id": "12345", "sub-auth-id": "12345", "auth-password": "your-password" } } {% endhighlight %}
Records
ClouDNS does support DS Record on subdomains (not the apex domain itself).
ClouDNS requires NS records exist for any DS records. No other records for the same label may exist (A, MX, TXT, etc.). If DNSControl is adding NS and DS records in the same update, the NS records will be inserted first.
Metadata
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to ClouDNS.
Usage
Example Javascript:
{% highlight js %} var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none', 'NONE') var CLOUDNS = NewDnsProvider("cloudns", "CLOUDNS");
D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(CLOUDNS), A("test","1.2.3.4") ); {%endhighlight%}
Activation
Create Auth ID. Only paid account can use API
Caveats
ClouDNS does not allow all TTLs, only a specific subset of TTLs. By default, the following TTLs are supported:
- 60 (1 minute)
- 300 (5 minutes)
- 900 (15 minutes)
- 1800 (30 minutes)
- 3600 (1 hour)
- 21600 (6 hours)
- 43200 (12 hours)
- 86400 (1 day)
- 172800 (2 days)
- 259200 (3 days)
- 604800 (1 week)
- 1209600 (2 weeks)
- 2419200 (4 weeks)
The provider will automatically round up your TTL to one of these values. For example, 350 seconds would become 900 seconds, but 300 seconds would stay 300 seconds.
