Route (DNS)

Applies To:

RouteThis platform is designed to provide reliable, high performance, and secure DNS service. This DNS service consists of zone administration, traffic management, and custom routing policies.

Our Route (DNS) solution is a reliable, high performance, and secure DNS service that provides the following capabilities:

Load balance traffic for a CNAME record or a subdomain for a primary zone hosted on another DNS system.
Establish a failover system for a CNAME record or a subdomain for a primary zone hosted on another DNS system.
Create a standard DNS zone. Optionally, load balance or failover requests to that zone.
Import a secondary DNS zone by creating a master server group and a secondary zone group.
- A master server group allows quick and easy management of master name servers, while a secondary zone group defines the secondary zones that will be imported from servers defined in a master server group and any TSIG keys that should be used for the zone transfer.
Verify a server's capability to fulfill requests through health checks performed from around the world.
