Notes

To add domain records, you must have a domain managed through Voxel. Contact support@voxel.net if you need assistance.

The domain_name parameter identifies a set of domain records belonging to a particular customer. The actual record to be added to that domain should be specified by "domain_record_name," not by the "domain_name" parameter.

For example, if the domain name "example.com" is being managed by Voxel, a call with domain_name=example.com, domain_record_name=www, domain_record_type=A, and domain_record_address=192.168.1.1 will create an "A" record pointing "www.example.com" to the address 192.168.1.1.

Alternatively, domain_name=example.com, domain_record_type=CNAME, domain_record_name=*, and domain_record_address=my.other.host.com will create a CNAME record pointing "*.example.com" to "my.other.host.com."
