Hi all,
I recently made a CNAME record from @.na1cl.ampr.org to my gateway at rtr-nj1.na1cl.ampr.org, but ran into issues using it. When I looked at the DNS records that were actually created, it looks like this:
na1cl.ampr.org. 86400 IN CNAME rtr-nj1.na1cl.ampr.org.ampr.org.
Which does not match the portal help text of "enter a fully qualified domain name terminated with a period". In addition, it looks like there's no option to edit already-created resource records from the portal. Is there a planned feature to edit resource records and clarify the help text?
Thanks and 73, Cara NA1CL
Hi Cara,
You didn’t add a period at the end, so “ampr.org http://ampr.org/” was added automatically. I have corrected that for you.
If the target hostname of a CNAME ends in “ampr.org http://ampr.org/” (and it doesn't have to) then you can either leave off the “ampr.org http://ampr.org/” part and don’t add a period, in which case “ampr.org http://ampr.org/” will automatically be added. Or, you can specify the fully qualified hostname including “ampr.org http://ampr.org/” but make sure you add a period at the end.

If the target hostname of a CNAME ends in “ampr.org <http://ampr.org/
” (and it doesn't have to) then you can either leave off the “ampr.org
http://ampr.org/” part and don’t add a period, in which case “ampr.org http://ampr.org/” will automatically be added. Or, you can specify the fully qualified hostname including “ampr.org http://ampr.org/” but make sure you add a period at the end.
Thanks for the quick response! I'm still not able to edit existing records, is that a known issue?
Thanks, Cara
There is no functionality to edit records, it wasn’t deemed worth the effort as it would be practically the same effort to delete then add a record.
