How to manage name servers for an internal domain

Scaleway Domains and DNS provides a managed DNS solution by providing default name servers for each domain name. If you want to use your own DNS servers, you can edit the name servers associated with your domain name.

1. Click Domains and DNS in the Network section of the Scaleway console side menu. The Domains and DNS dashboard displays.
2. Click the domain name you want to configure.
3. Click Edit in the Name Servers section of the domain overview page.
4. Edit the name server information. For each name server of your domain you can provide:
   • A fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
   • An IPv6 address
   • An IPv4 address
   Tip:

   IP addresses are only required if you want to create glue records. A glue record provides the IP address of a name server so that DNS can resolve the domain name if the domain uses name servers hosted under that same domain name.

5. Click Add name server to add additional name servers and enter your server’s information.
   Tip:

   We recommend you configure a minimum of two and a maximum of seven DNS servers for each domain name.

6. Click «Delete Icon» to remove a name server.
7. Click «Validate Icon» to validate your configuration.
8. Click «Cancel Icon» to cancel all changes you have made.
