Reset DNS Zone causing duplicate entries.

Jeff P. · Nov 25, 2016

I added custom DKIM, SPF and DMARC to my zone templates.

When I reset a zone, it duplicated those entries each time it is reset.

What can I do to prevent this?

My Custom Entries:

%domain%. %nsttl% IN TXT "v=spf1 mx include:send.aweber.com -all"

default._domainkey IN TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=blahblahblahblah\;

_dmarc.%domain%. IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; sp=none; rua=mailto:blah@gmail.com!10m; ruf=mailto:blah@gmail.com!10m; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400"

Hello,

Custom TXT entries are preserved when resetting a DNS Zone. This is referenced in the confirmation message:

Are you sure you wish to reset the zone example.tld to its default values? All custom entries will be lost except for TXT records, subdomains will be restored.

You'd have to temporarily remove the custom TXT records from the zone template before resetting a zone to prevent the duplicate records. I recommend opening a feature request for the ability to disable TXT record preservation during zone resets via:

Thank you.
