Zone transfer management
Summary
This feature enables users to configure and manage primary and secondary IP sets to control DNS zone transfers with greater precision and security. The primary IP set, managed by DigiCert® DNS, represents the authoritative servers that hold the original zone data. The secondary IP set, managed by the user or a third party, defines the external servers authorized to receive zone transfers.
Description
Through its intuitive interface, DigiCert® DNS simplifies the oversight of zone transfers by providing detailed control over both primary and secondary IP sets. Users can monitor and validate which IPs are authorized for data exchange, apply updates in real time, and audit changes for greater transparency. This granular control helps enforce strict transfer policies, minimize misconfigurations, and ensure only trusted IPs participate in DNS replication.
