DNS Record Management

DNS Engine

Create, update, delete, and inspect DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, SRV) with proxy toggles.

$ cflare dns <list|add|update|delete> <domain> [options]

📖 Full Explanation

\1 provides blazing-fast DNS record management from your terminal. Add records, toggle Cloudflare edge proxying, and update server destinations with instantaneous global propagation across Cloudflare's authoritative nameservers.

⚙️ Command Options & Flags

Option / Flag	Description	Default
-t, --type <type>	Record type: A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, SRV, NS	A
-n, --name <name>	Record subdomain or name (e.g. api, @, mail)	required for add
-c, --content <value>	Target IP or destination host (e.g. 1.2.3.4)	required for add
-p, --proxied	Toggle Cloudflare orange-cloud edge proxy	true
--ttl <seconds>	Time to live in seconds (1 for auto)	1

🔬 Technical Corollary & Edge Mechanics

Communicates with \1. When \1 is configured, Cloudflare edge intercepts incoming requests, applying WAF, DDoS mitigation, and SSL caching. When \1, traffic resolves directly to the destination origin IP.
