Configuration for DNS parameter resource.

Name	Data Type	Permissions	Description
retries	<Double>	Read-write	Maximum number of retry attempts when no response is received for a query sent to a name server. Applies to end resolver and forwarder configurations.<br>Default value: 5<br>Minimum value = 1<br>Maximum value = 5
minttl	<Double>	Read-write	Minimum permissible time to live (TTL) for all records cached in the DNS cache by DNS proxy, end resolver, and forwarder configurations. If the TTL of a record that is to be cached is lower than the value configured for minTTL, the TTL of the record is set to the value of minTTL before caching. When you modify this setting, the new value is applied only to those records that are cached after the modification. The TTL values of existing records are not changed.<br>Minimum value = 0<br>Maximum value = 604800
maxttl	<Double>	Read-write	Maximum time to live (TTL) for all records cached in the DNS cache by DNS proxy, end resolver, and forwarder configurations. If the TTL of a record that is to be cached is higher than the value configured for maxTTL, the TTL of the record is set to the value of maxTTL before caching. When you modify this setting, the new value is applied only to those records that are cached after the modification. The TTL values of existing records are not changed.<br>Default value: 604800<br>Minimum value = 1<br>Maximum value = 604800
cacherecords	<String>	Read-write	Cache resource records in the DNS cache. Applies to resource records obtained through proxy configurations only. End resolver and forwarder configurations always cache records in the DNS cache, and you cannot disable this behavior. When you disable record caching, the appliance stops caching server responses. However, cached records are not flushed. The appliance does not serve requests from the cache until record caching is enabled again.<br>Default value: YES<br>Possible values = YES, NO
namelookuppriority	<String>	Read-write	Type of lookup (DNS or WINS) to attempt first. If the first-priority lookup fails, the second-priority lookup is attempted. Used only by the SSL VPN feature.<br>Default value: WINS<br>Possible values = WINS, DNS
recursion	<String>	Read-write	Function as an end resolver and recursively resolve queries for domains that are not hosted on the NetScaler appliance. Also resolve queries recursively when the external name servers configured on the appliance (for a forwarder configuration) are unavailable. When external name servers are unavailable, the appliance queries a root server and resolves the request recursively, as it does for an end resolver configuration.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
resolutionorder	<String>	Read-write	Type of DNS queries (A, AAAA, or both) to generate during the routine functioning of certain NetScaler features, such as SSL VPN, cache redirection, and the integrated cache. The queries are sent to the external name servers that are configured for the forwarder function. If you specify both query types, you can also specify the order. Available settings function as follows: * OnlyAQuery. Send queries for IPv4 address records (A records) only. * OnlyAAAAQuery. Send queries for IPv6 address records (AAAA records) instead of queries for IPv4 address records (A records). * AThenAAAAQuery. Send a query for an A record, and then send a query for an AAAA record if the query for the A record results in a NODATA response from the name server. * AAAAThenAQuery. Send a query for an AAAA record, and then send a query for an A record if the query for the AAAA record results in a NODATA response from the name server.<br>Default value: OnlyAQuery<br>Possible values = OnlyAQuery, OnlyAAAAQuery, AThenAAAAQuery, AAAAThenAQuery
dnssec	<String>	Read-write	Enable or disable the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) feature on the appliance. Note: Even when the DNSSEC feature is enabled, forwarder configurations (used by internal NetScaler features such as SSL VPN and Cache Redirection for name resolution) do not support the DNSSEC OK (DO) bit in the EDNS0 OPT header.<br>Default value: ENABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
maxpipeline	<Double>	Read-write	Maximum number of concurrent DNS requests to allow on a single client connection, which is identified by the ;lt;clientip:port;gt;-;lt;vserver ip:port;gt; tuple. A value of 0 (zero) applies no limit to the number of concurrent DNS requests allowed on a single client connection.
dnsrootreferral	<String>	Read-write	Send a root referral if a client queries a domain name that is unrelated to the domains configured/cached on the NetScaler appliance. If the setting is disabled, the appliance sends a blank response instead of a root referral. Applicable to domains for which the appliance is authoritative. Disable the parameter when the appliance is under attack from a client that is sending a flood of queries for unrelated domains.<br>Default value: DISABLED<br>Possible values = ENABLED, DISABLED
dns64timeout	<Double>	Read-write	While doing DNS64 resolution, this parameter specifies the time to wait before sending an A query if no response is received from backend DNS server for AAAA query.<br>Minimum value = 0<br>Maximum value = 10000

UPDATE | UNSET | GET (ALL)

Some options that you can use for each operations:

Getting warnings in response: NITRO allows you to get warnings in an operation by specifying the "warning" query parameter as "yes". For example, to get warnings while connecting to the NetScaler appliance, the URL is as follows:
http://<netscaler-ip-address>/nitro/v1/config/login?warning=yes
If any, the warnings are displayed in the response payload with the HTTP code "209 X-NITRO-WARNING".
Authenticated access for individual NITRO operations: NITRO allows you to logon to the NetScaler appliance to perform individual operations. You can use this option instead of creating a NITRO session (using the login object) and then using that session to perform all operations,
To do this, you must specify the username and password in the request header of the NITRO request as follows:
X-NITRO-USER:<username>
X-NITRO-PASS:<password>
Note: In such cases, make sure that the request header DOES not include the following:
Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN=<tokenvalue>

Note:

Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in <green>.
