New in version 2.6.

Synopsis

• Manage DNS records in a Memset account.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
address required		The address for this record (can be IP or text string depending on record type). aliases: ip, data
api_key required		The API key obtained from the Memset control panel.
priority		SRV and TXT record priority, in the range 0 > 999 (inclusive).
record		The subdomain to create.
relative bool	Choices: no yes	If set then the current domain is added onto the address field for CNAME, MX, NS and SRVrecord types.
state	Choices: absent present ←	Indicates desired state of resource.
ttl	Choices: 0 300 600 900 1800 3600 7200 10800 21600 43200 86400	The record's TTL in seconds (will inherit zone's TTL if not explicitly set). This must be a valid int from https://www.memset.com/apidocs/methods_dns.html#dns.zone_record_create.
type required	Choices: A AAAA CNAME MX NS SRV TXT	The type of DNS record to create.
zone required		The name of the zone to which to add the record to.

Notes

Note

• Zones can be thought of as a logical group of domains, all of which share the same DNS records (i.e. they point to the same IP). An API key generated via the Memset customer control panel is needed with the following minimum scope - dns.zone_create, dns.zone_delete, dns.zone_list.
• Currently this module can only create one DNS record at a time. Multiple records should be created using with_items.

    type: A
    record: www
    address: 1.2.3.4
    ttl: 300
    relative: false
  delegate_to: localhost

# create an SPF record for domain.com
