ChangeResourceRecordSets Only
Enter a fully qualified domain name, for example, www.example.com
. You can optionally include a
trailing dot. If you omit the trailing dot, Amazon Route 53 assumes that the domain name that you specify is
fully qualified. This means that Route 53 treats www.example.com
(without a trailing dot) and
www.example.com.
(with a trailing dot) as identical.
For information about how to specify characters other than a-z
, 0-9
, and -
(hyphen) and how to specify internationalized domain names, see DNS Domain Name Format
in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.
You can use the asterisk (*) wildcard to replace the leftmost label in a domain name, for example,
*.example.com
. Note the following:
-
The * must replace the entire label. For example, you can't specify *prod.example.com
or
prod*.example.com
.
-
The * can't replace any of the middle labels, for example, marketing.*.example.com.
-
If you include * in any position other than the leftmost label in a domain name, DNS treats it as an * character
(ASCII 42), not as a wildcard.
You can't use the * wildcard for resource records sets that have a type of NS.
You can use the * wildcard as the leftmost label in a domain name, for example, *.example.com
. You
can't use an * for one of the middle labels, for example, marketing.*.example.com
. In addition, the
* must replace the entire label; for example, you can't specify prod*.example.com
.
