NS-Record
Lists the authoritative name servers for a zone.
Was ist ein NS-Record?
NS records tell the DNS system which servers are responsible for a given domain. They appear at the apex of a zone and are also delegated from the parent zone (the TLD operator). Recursive resolvers use NS to find which IPs to ask for further records.

example.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.example.com. example.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.example.com.
Typische Anwendungsfälle
- ▸Change DNS providers — update the NS records at the registrar.
- ▸Delegate a subdomain to a different DNS provider.
- ▸Split-horizon / private DNS by changing internal NS targets.
- ▸Diagnose propagation: query NS records via different resolvers (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9) to see who has the new set.
Häufige Stolpersteine
The NS set at the parent zone must match the apex NS set inside the child zone. Mismatches ("lame delegation") cause intermittent failures hard to debug.
