The NOC.org Authoritative DNS offers a set of enhanced records that allows a network administrator to fully customize a domains DNS zone file.
For example, you are able to use DNS for geo-based routing, announcing different IPs in different parts of the world, or enable high-availability enabling the platform to proactively remove unhealthy records.
Some of the smart routing options include:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Geo-Based Routing | Route traffic according to a users geographic location. |
| Automated Failover | DNS-based automated failover and recovery. |
| High Availability | Leverage Auth-DNS to implement high availability zones without a CDN. |
| Proximity Routing | DNS-based routing that allows responses to be based on response times. |
| Alias Routing | Ability to use CNAMES on subdomains and domains, similar to “CNAME Flattening” |
