  6. Click Add Record Set.

    The Add Record Set dialog box is displayed.

    Parameter

    TTL (s)

    Cache duration of the record set on a local DNS server, in seconds.

    The value ranges from 1 to 2147483647, and the default is 300.

    If your service address changes frequently, set TTL to a smaller value.

    300

    Value

    Server address

    You can enter a maximum of 50 record values, each on a separate line.

    The value format is [priority] [weight] [port number] [server address].

    Configuration rules:

    • The priority, weight, and port number range from 0 to 65535.
    • A smaller value indicates a higher priority.
    • A larger value indicates a larger weight.
    • The server address is the domain name of the target server.

      Ensure that the domain name can be resolved.

    NOTE:

    If the record set values have the same priority, requests to the domain name will be routed based on weights.
