You can define the ownership of a zone, designating whether it is owned by BloxOne or a third-party provider. Ownership defines the “source of truth”. The source of truth will take precedence during a conflict between BloxOne DDI and the Cloud provider.
By default, the ownership of the zones synced from the third-party provider will have the ownership defined as Third Party provider.
Any DNS zone that is created on the Cloud Services Portal and associated with Third Party Authoritative Server will default to BloxOne ownership.
Third-Party Ownership: If a zone is owned by a third-party provider, the DNS system acts as a proxy for editing the zone. This allows customers to federate zones owned by external providers while leveraging the management facilities of BloxOne DDI.
BloxOne DDI Ownership: For zones owned by BloxOne DDI, any edits made to the zone through the Cloud Services Portal are automatically replicated to the cloud provider. Use the Cloud Services Portal as the source of truth for the Third Party zones and records. Accordingly, any edits made in the cloud provider are overwritten during the next sync. This behavior guarantees that BloxOne DDI serves as the authoritative source for the zones it owns.
Ownership Control: Users have the ability to define/update the ownership of each zone, controlling the editing process and maintaining a centralized view of the federated DNS infrastructure.
