RP Records

A Responsible Person (RP) Record identifies the contact information of the person (or group) responsible for a host or zone.

An RP record consists of the following four fields:

• Host - The hostname for the record, entered as either a simple, one-part name, or as a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) with or without a trailing dot. Examples:

  • hostname

  • hostname.example.biz

  • hostname.example.biz.

  • example.biz

  • example.biz.

• RP Email - The email address of the responsible person or group, entered as either:

  • local-part@domain

  • local-part.domain

• TXT Records - The domain that includes a TXT record providing further contact information.

• TTL - The Time to Live (TTL) for the record. You can provide this value as either an integer or an annotated value (1h = 1 hour).

  • This field is not required, and will be set to the default value if left empty.
