How Do I Setup Automatic Import of My Route53 Data?


Until our API is released shortly, you can trigger an import of your Route53 zonedata by using our dynamic DNS system. We've setup another Dynamic DNS server hook:



To do this you create a DYN type record in your DNS settings with the same name as a hostname you specify in your Route53 configuration: Remote Trigger Hostname - and then access this URL with an HTTP GET method request and use Basic Access Authentication using your easyDNS userid and a DYN Authentication Token.

The Remote Trigger Hostname will only trigger an import of your DNS from Route53 when your configuration is set to Enable Route53 Push » easyDNS

How do I configure a zone apex alias resource record set for use with elastic load balancing?


We've added support for Zone Apex Aliases, which allow root domains to be pointed to an elastic load balancer. This gets around the problem of not being able to create a CNAME record for the root of a domain.
