Via API

# A Record
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "www",
    "type": "A",
    "value": "192.168.1.100",
    "ttl": 300
  }'

# CNAME Record
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "blog",
    "type": "CNAME",
    "value": "www.example.com.",
    "ttl": 300
  }'

# MX Record
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "@",
    "type": "MX",
    "value": "mail.example.com.",
    "priority": 10,
    "ttl": 300
  }'

# TXT Record
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "@",
    "type": "TXT",
    "value": "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all",
    "ttl": 300
  }'

Via CLI

# A Record
resolvx record create example.com www A 192.168.1.100 --ttl 300

# CNAME Record
resolvx record create example.com blog CNAME www.example.com. --ttl 300

# MX Record
resolvx record create example.com @ MX mail.example.com. --priority 10 --ttl 300

Listing Records

Via API

# All records in a zone
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records

# Filter by type
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records?type=A"

# Filter by name
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records?name=www"

Via CLI

resolvx record list example.com
resolvx record list example.com --type A

Updating Records

Via API

curl -X PUT http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records/{record_id} \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "value": "192.168.1.200",
    "ttl": 600
  }'

Deleting Records

Via API

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/v1/zones/example.com/records/{record_id}

Via CLI

resolvx record delete example.com {record_id}

Record Name Conventions

Use @ for the zone apex (e.g., example.com itself)
Use relative names without the zone suffix (e.g., www not www.example.com)
CNAME targets should end with a dot (.) if fully qualified

TTL (Time To Live)

TTL controls how long DNS resolvers cache a record:

TTL	Use Case
60-300s	Records that change frequently
300-3600s	Standard records
3600-86400s	Stable records

Lower TTLs mean faster propagation of changes but more DNS queries to your server.
