Type Value (decimal) Defining RFC Description Function

A

1 RFC 1035[1] Address record Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host, but it is also used for DNSBLs, storing subnet masks in RFC 1101, etc.

AAAA

28 RFC 3596[2] IPv6 address record Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host.

AFSDB

18 RFC 1183 AFS database record Location of database servers of an AFS cell. This record is commonly used by AFS clients to contact AFS cells outside their local domain. A subtype of this record is used by the obsolete DCE/DFS file system.

APL

42 RFC 3123 Address Prefix List Specify lists of address ranges, e.g. in CIDR format, for various address families. Experimental.

CAA

257 RFC 6844 Certification Authority Authorization DNS Certification Authority Authorization, constraining acceptable CAs for a host/domain

CDNSKEY

60 RFC 7344 Child DNSKEY Child copy of DNSKEY record, for transfer to parent

CDS

59 RFC 7344 Child DS Child copy of DS record, for transfer to parent

CERT

37 RFC 4398 Certificate record Stores PKIX, SPKI, PGP, etc.
CNAME 5 RFC 1035[1] Canonical name record Alias of one name to another: the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name.

DHCID

49 RFC 4701 DHCP identifier Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP

DLV

32769 RFC 4431 DNSSEC Lookaside Validation record For publishing DNSSEC trust anchors outside of the DNS delegation chain. Uses the same format as the DS record.RFC 5074 describes a way of using these records.
DNAME 39 RFC 2672 Delegation Name Alias for a name and all its subnames, unlike CNAME, which is an alias for only the exact name. Like a CNAME record, the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name.

DNSKEY

48 RFC 4034 DNS Key record The key record used in DNSSEC. Uses the same format as the KEY record.

DS

43 RFC 4034 Delegation signer The record used to identify the DNSSEC signing key of a delegated zone
HIP 55 RFC 5205 Host Identity Protocol Method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses.

IPSECKEY

45 RFC 4025 IPsec Key Key record that can be used with IPsec

KEY

25 RFC 2535[3]and RFC 2930[4] Key record Used only for SIG(0) (RFC 2931) and TKEY (RFC 2930).[5] RFC 3445 eliminated their use for application keys and limited their use to DNSSEC.[6] RFC 3755 designates DNSKEY as the replacement within DNSSEC.[7] RFC 4025 designates IPSECKEY as the replacement for use with IPsec.[8]

KX

36 RFC 2230 Key eXchanger record Used with some cryptographic systems (not including DNSSEC) to identify a key management agent for the associated domain-name. Note that this has nothing to do with DNS Security. It is Informational status, rather than being on the IETF standards-track. It has always had limited deployment, but is still in use.
LOC 29 RFC 1876 Location record Specifies a geographical location associated with a domain name
MX 15 RFC 1035[1]and RFC 7505 Mail exchange record Maps a domain name to a list of message transfer agentsfor that domain
NAPTR 35 RFC 3403 Naming Authority Pointer Allows regular-expression-based rewriting of domain names which can then be used as URIs, further domain names to lookups, etc.

NS

2 RFC 1035[1] Name server record Delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers

NSEC

47 RFC 4034 Next-Secure record Part of DNSSEC—used to prove a name does not exist. Uses the same format as the (obsolete) NXT record.

NSEC3

50 RFC 5155 NSEC record version 3 An extension to DNSSEC that allows proof of nonexistence for a name without permitting zonewalking

NSEC3PARAM

51 RFC 5155 NSEC3 parameters Parameter record for use with NSEC3

PTR

12 RFC 1035[1] Pointer record Pointer to a canonical name. Unlike a CNAME, DNS processing stops and just the name is returned. The most common use is for implementing reverse DNS lookups, but other uses include such things as DNS-SD.

RRSIG

46 RFC 4034 DNSSEC signature Signature for a DNSSEC-secured record set. Uses the same format as the SIG record.

RP

17 RFC 1183 Responsible person Information about the responsible person(s) for the domain. Usually an email address with the @ replaced by a .

SIG

24 RFC 2535 Signature Signature record used in SIG(0) (RFC 2931) and TKEY (RFC 2930).[7] RFC 3755 designated RRSIG as the replacement for SIG for use within DNSSEC.[7]

SOA

6 RFC 1035[1]and RFC 2308[9] Start of [a zone of] authority record Specifies authoritative information about a DNS zone, including the primary name server, the email of the domain administrator, the domain serial number, and several timers relating to refreshing the zone.
SRV 33 RFC 2782 Service locator Generalized service location record, used for newer protocols instead of creating protocol-specific records such as MX.

SSHFP

44 RFC 4255 SSH Public Key Fingerprint Resource record for publishing SSH public host key fingerprints in the DNS System, in order to aid in verifying the authenticity of the host. RFC 6594 defines ECC SSH keys and SHA-256 hashes. See the IANA SSHFP RR parameters registry for details.

TA

32768 N/A DNSSEC Trust Authorities Part of a deployment proposal for DNSSEC without a signed DNS root. See the IANA database and Weiler Spec for details. Uses the same format as the DS record.

TKEY

249 RFC 2930 Secret key record A method of providing keying material to be used withTSIG that is encrypted under the public key in an accompanying KEY RR.[10]

TLSA

52 RFC 6698 TLSA certificate association A record for DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities(DANE). RFC 6698 defines “The TLSA DNS resource record is used to associate a TLS server certificate or public key with the domain name where the record is found, thus forming a ‘TLSA certificate association'”.

TSIG

250 RFC 2845 Transaction Signature Can be used to authenticate dynamic updates as coming from an approved client, or to authenticate responses as coming from an approved recursive name server[11]similar to DNSSEC.

TXT

16 RFC 1035[1] Text record Originally for arbitrary human-readable text in a DNS record. Since the early 1990s, however, this record more often carries machine-readable data, such as specified byRFC 1464, opportunistic encryption, Sender Policy Framework, DKIM, DMARC, DNS-SD, etc.

Other types and pseudo resource records[edit]

Other types of records simply provide some types of information (for example, an HINFO record gives a description of the type of computer/OS a host uses), or others return data used in experimental features. The “type” field is also used in the protocol for various operations.

Code Number Defining RFC Description Function
* 255 RFC 1035[1] All cached records Returns all records of all types known to the name server. If the name server does not have any information on the name, the request will be forwarded on. The records returned may not be complete. For example, if there is both an A and an MX for a name, but the name server has only the A record cached, only the A record will be returned. Sometimes referred to as “ANY”, for example in Windows nslookup and Wireshark.
AXFR 252 RFC 1035[1] Authoritative Zone Transfer Transfer entire zone file from the master name server to secondary name servers.

IXFR

251 RFC 1996 Incremental Zone Transfer Requests a zone transfer of the given zone but only differences from a previous serial number. This request may be ignored and a full (AXFR) sent in response if the authoritative server is unable to fulfill the request due to configuration or lack of required deltas.

OPT

41 RFC 6891 Option This is a “pseudo DNS record type” needed to support EDNS
