DNSSEC
Enable, publish and verify DNSSEC for supported authoritative zones.
DNSSEC adds signed DNS responses but also introduces a registrar-side dependency. Do not enable it casually on a production zone without understanding the DS-record step.
Typical flow
- Make sure the unsigned zone resolves correctly.
- Enable DNSSEC in Control.
- Wait for Control to report the zone signing material it needs you to publish.
- Add the DS record at the domain registrar or parent zone.
- Verify delegation and signing from outside the server.
When disabling DNSSEC, remove or update the parent DS record in the correct order so the domain does not become validation-broken.
Cloudflare-managed DNSSEC follows Cloudflare's provider lifecycle rather than native BIND key handling.
