Nameserver options |
3 |
Refer to the sections below to learn about different nameserver options.
Multi-provider DNS is an optional setting for zones using full setup and is an enforced default behaviour for zones using secondary setup.
When you enable multi-provider DNS on a primary (full setup) zone:
-
Cloudflare will no longer ignore
NSrecords created on the zone apex, as in the example below.{{}}
| Type | Name | Nameserver |
|---|---|---|
NS |
@ |
ns1.external.com |
{{}}
This means that responses to DNS queries made to the zone apex and requesting NS records will contain both Cloudflare's and your other DNS providers' nameservers.
- Cloudflare will activate a primary (full setup) zone even if its nameservers listed at the registrar include nameservers from other DNS providers.

}} If you choose this option, you should also make sure to set up multi-signer DNSSEC. {{}}
