Zone Configuration (SOA Record)

The Statement of Authority Record describes the primary name server. It is usually used by secondary name servers as an aid to keep their information synchronized with the primary name server. And it is used by independent name servers as a guide for how long to cache DNS lookup results.

Primary Name Serverns1.sqpt.net
DNS Host Mastersqptdns.gmail.com
Secondary Refresh2 hours
Secondary Retry1 hour
Secondary Expire1 day
Default Record Cache Time1 hour
Serial Number2010011005

SOA Info
