    SoftLayer customers have the option of hosting DNS domains on the SoftLayer name servers. Individual domains hosted on the SoftLayer name servers are handled through the SoftLayer_Dns_Domain service.

    Domain changes are applied automatically by our nameservers, but changes may not be received by the other name servers on the Internet for 72 hours after your change. The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain service does not apply to customers who run their own nameservers on servers purchased from SoftLayer.

    SoftLayer provides secondary DNS hosting services if you wish to maintain DNS records on your name server, but have records replicated on SoftLayer's name servers. Use the [[SoftLayer_Dns_Secondary]] service to manage secondary DNS zones and transfers.

      • createObject

        @ApiMethod
Domain createObject​(Domain templateObject)
        Create a new domain on the SoftLayer name servers. The SoftLayer_Dns_Domain object passed to this function must have at least one A or AAAA resource record.

        createObject creates a default SOA record with the data:
        * '''host''': "@"
        * '''data''': "ns1.softlayer.com."
        * '''responsible person''': "root.[your domain name]."
        * '''expire''': 604800 seconds
        * '''refresh''': 3600 seconds
        * '''retry''': 300 seconds
        * '''minimum''': 3600 seconds


        If your new domain uses the .de top-level domain then SOA refresh is set to 10000 seconds, retry is set to 1800 seconds, and minimum to 10000 seconds.

        If your domain doesn't contain NS resource records for ns1.softlayer.com or ns2.softlayer.com then ''createObject'' will create them for you.

        ''createObject'' returns a Boolean ''true'' on successful object creation or ''false'' if your domain was unable to be created..
