Alibaba Cloud DNS PrivateZone:Recursive resolution proxy

Last Updated:Jun 02, 2023

Recursive resolution proxy

PrivateZone supports the recursive resolution proxy feature. After you enable this feature, when you query the subdomain names that are not configured in the zone namespace in the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), PrivateZone will recursively resolve the subdomain names on the Internet, and use the recursive resolution result as the Domain Name System (DNS) response to your query. Then, PrivateZone returns this response to the VPC.

Assume that a private zone is named aliyun.com and three DNS records have been created for the aliyun.com private zone, as listed in the following table.

Resource record

Type

TTL

Record value

host01

A

60

10.0.0.1

host02

A

60

10.0.0.2

host03

A

60

10.0.0.3

  • When you query the subdomain names host01.aliyun.com, host02.aliyun.com, and host03.aliyun.com in the VPC, PrivateZone returns the resolution result as 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, and 10.0.0.3 respectively.

  • When you query the public subdomain names www.aliyun.com, api.aliyun.com, and rds.aliyun.com in the VPC, PrivateZone recursively resolves the subdomain names on the Internet and uses the recursive resolution result as the DNS response to your query.

Enable recursive resolution proxy

You can enable the recursive resolution proxy feature when you create a private zone. Alternatively, after a private zone is created, you can turn on the Subdomain recursive resolution proxy switch on the Details page of the private zone, as shown in the following figures.

  • Turn on the Subdomain recursive resolution proxy switch on the Details page of a created private zone. After the feature is enabled, existing DNS records in the private zone are not affected.递归解析代理-2

Disable recursive resolution proxy

  • You can turn off the Subdomain recursive resolution proxy switch on the Details page of a private zone, as shown in the following figures.
