Notes¶
Note
- Zones can be thought of as a logical group of domains, all of which share the same DNS records (i.e. they point to the same IP). An API key generated via the Memset customer control panel is needed with the following minimum scope - dns.zone_create, dns.zone_delete, dns.zone_list.
- Currently this module can only create one DNS record at a time. Multiple records should be created using with_items.
Examples¶
# Create DNS record for www.domain.com
- name: create DNS record
  memset_zone_record:
    api_key: dcf089a2896940da9ffefb307ef49ccd
    state: present
    zone: domain.com
    type: A
    record: www
    address: 1.2.3.4
    ttl: 300
    relative: false
  delegate_to: localhost
# create an SPF record for domain.com
- name: create SPF record for domain.com
  memset_zone_record:
    api_key: dcf089a2896940da9ffefb307ef49ccd
    state: present
    zone: domain.com
    type: TXT
    address: "v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:a1.2.3.4 ?all"
  delegate_to: localhost
# create multiple DNS records
- name: create multiple DNS records
  memset_zone_record:
    api_key: dcf089a2896940da9ffefb307ef49ccd
    zone: "{{ item.zone }}"
    type: "{{ item.type }}"
    record: "{{ item.record }}"
    address: "{{ item.address }}"
  delegate_to: localhost
  with_items:
    - { 'zone': 'domain1.com', 'type': 'A', 'record': 'www', 'address': '1.2.3.4' }
    - { 'zone': 'domain2.com', 'type': 'A', 'record': 'mail', 'address': '4.3.2.1' }
