Networks

You can publish zones to DNS networks managed by IBM® NS1 Connect® or you can publish a zone to an external DNS or backup network.

Publishing a zone to a DNS network managed by NS1 Connect, such as the NS1 Connect Managed DNS network, makes the data available on the NS1 Connect authoritative nameservers. After publishing the zone to one or more networks, you must update the nameserver delegation at your domain registrar to ensure requesting clients (resolvers) know to query NS1 Connect nameservers to resolve queries during the DNS lookup process.

If you have IBM Cloud Sync enabled on your account, you can connect external DNS networks, such as Amazon Route 53, and publish zone data from NS1 Connect to one or more connected networks. You can also connect a backup network, such as an S3 bucket, to backup and restore zone data.

You can publish a zone to one or more DNS or backup networks during zone creation or by editing the selected networks in the zone settings.

You can view and manage DNS and backup networks by going toDNS > Networks in the main navigation.
