  DNS Resource Records
Each MX record specifies a domain name (which must have an A record associated with it) and a priority; a list of mail exchangers is then ordered by priority when delivering mail.
MX records provide one level of indirection in mapping the domain part of an email address to a list of host names which are meant to receive mail for that domain name.
NS records are the basic infrastructure on which DNS is built; they stitch together distributed zone files into a directed graph that can be efficiently searched.

 DNS record types
NS, or name server, records are used to tell other DNS servers which DNS servers to contact in order to find out information for a given DNS node.
For example, a NS record for example.com tells other DNS servers which DNS servers to contact in order to obtain information for the example.com domain.
Because of the way MaraDNS is set up, all of the NS records for a given DNS zone need to be placed immediately after the SOA record.

 Record Collections
NS record collections are typically used for indexed files and directories.
Records may be added, modified, and deleted in any time sequence within NS record collections.
The contents of an ES record collection may be thought of as a sequence of records in the same order as they were entered into the record collection.

It has host records for www.mydomain.com, router.mydomain.com (it points to a private IP, but that is OK and can be very useful for your own internal networks), proxy.mydomain.com, and several others including A records for the mail servers mail and mail2.
Because of this, it is important that an A-record for the referenced DNS server exists (not necessarily on your server, but wherever it belongs), otherwise there may not be any way to find that DNS server and communicate with it.
Because of this, it is important that an A-record for the referenced mail server exists (not necessarily on your server, but wherever it belongs), otherwise there may not be any way to find that mail server and communicate with it.

DS records MUST NOT point to KEY records where flag field has folowing bit settings, bit 0 (no authentication) is set, bit 6 MUST be set to 0 and bit 7 MUST be set to 1 (zone key).
For MX record the cost where the target of the MX record is in the same zone as the MX record the costs are N+2 and 2N+2.

CNAME Records can also be used when a computer or service needs to be renamed, to temporarily allow access through both the old and new name.
These NS Records have the same name as the Zone in which they are located.
This A Record is referred to as a Glue Record, because it doesn't really belong in the Parent Zone, but is necessary to locate the DNS Server for the delegated sub-domain.

 DNS Made Easy!
Wildcard Records give you the ability to map all (or a section) of the records in your domain to one IP.
If you create a record that is part of your domain (and inclusive of the wild card set) then only that record is directed to the other IP and everything else will goto the Wildcard record.
The name field of an MX record contains the host name which appears in the e-mail address, and the data field contains the hostname of the server to which the mail should be delivered.

NS records must be at zone root node or be at root of sub-zone being delegated.
Name Server (NS) records specify the names of the servers used to manage domains.
An NS record might be invalid because it contains a format error, or because it contains the name of a server that is not part of the domain or not authoritative for any of the zones within the domain.

If the name of the NS record is that of a descendant zone, then it is a delegation record.

 DNSSEC in the .nl zone mini HOWTO
And if the nameservers of the child zone themselves have names within their own zone (for example when ns.ct.nl is an NS record for ct.nl), then it also needs to pass that information to pass along as well ; the so-called glue records.
The DS record itself is signed by the parent-zone with a SIG record.

A root server in a domain contains an NS record for each second-level server, along with an A record that provides the IP address of the server.
Finally, the TTL (Time To Live) field specifies how long the record from another server should be allowed to remain cached before it is removed.

 Name Servers
Periodically, the primary's SOA record for the domain is checked for changes in its SERIAL field.
Such replies have empty answer sections, and NS records in the authority section pointing to the other servers.
Every resource record has a Time To Live (TTL) field (distinct from the IP TTL field) which specifies the number of seconds the record may be cached before it must be discarded.

 NS (DNS Server)
Because of this, it is important that an A-record for the referenced DNS server exists (not necessarily on your DNS server, but wherever it belongs), otherwise there may not be any way to connect with that DNS server.
If an NS-record delegates a sub-name ("subname.yourname.com") to a DNS server with a name in that sub-name ("ns1.subname.yourname.com"), an A-record for that server (""ns1.subname.yourname.com") must exist in the parent zone ("yourname.com").
This A-record is called a "glue record", because it doesn't really belong in the parent zone, but is necessary to locate the DNS server for the delegated sub-name.

If you add an NS record to a DNS zone, when you restart the DNS server the glue NS records are missing.
When the DNS Administration tool causes the DNS server to add an NS record to the database, the server assigns the record the same authority level as other records in the zone.
Because the new records have the highest authority level and are the first in the list, the existing records that are read from the zone file are dropped.

 Chapter 8 - NS Record
They are required because DNS queries respond with an authority section listing all the authoritative name servers, for sub-domains they are required to allow referral to take place.
By convention name servers are defined immediately after the SOA record but can be defined anywhere convenient in the zone file.
Strictly glue records are essential only with referrals which include name servers within the domain being queried.

A TXT record allows an administrator to insert arbitrary text into a DNS record; this record is also used in the Sender Policy Framework specification.
Other kinds of records simply provide information (for example, a LOC record gives the physical location of a host), or experimental data (for example, a WKS record gives a list of servers offering some well-known service such as HTTP or POP3 for a domain).
