Multiprovider DNS support
Edge DNS is architected for availability, resilience, and performance. As such, it addresses redundancy concerns that might lead to interest in multiprovider authoritative DNS. Each Akamai name server cloud is backed by thousands of globally distributed servers, and each Edge DNS customer is assigned a unique set of Akamai name server delegations.
For customers who want to use multiple authoritative DNS providers, consider the following options:
- Configure a hidden primary name server at the customer origin, and set up each DNS provider to operate as a secondary zone and complete zone transfers.
- Configure each DNS provider as a primary zone, and use APIs to update zones on each provider.
- Configure each DNS provider as a primary zone, and use a third-party tool to administer each zone.
- Use a different DNS provider as primary zone, and configure Edge DNS as a secondary zone.
- Use outbound zone transfers to transfer zone data from Edge DNS servers to your external name servers. For more information, see Enable outbound zone transfers.
