You have excellent changelogs and release cycles but I'd love to help with your documentation. #504

Not only would it help me wrap my head around the breadth and depth of this appliance in a very intimate way but it would also help future netizens if possible.

https://github.com/TechnitiumSoftware/DnsServer/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md this changelog includes a lot of really cool RFC's being supported like the SSHFP spec but now whats next because there's no magical entry that asks for only the required input as far as I can tell.

I'm extremely grateful for a modern re-tooling of one of the oldest internet protocols required for infrastructure operations on the internet but can we get it documented?

498 is a great start it shows a number of permutations of implementation of the Failover APP

Thanks for the post. Yes, there is an issue with lack of documentation due to time constrains. It should improve later once a lot of core features are implemented. Till then there is always support available.

The new record types, SSHFP and TLSA, requires the DNS zone to be signed with DNSSEC. Without DNSSEC, these records are of no use since these are used to provide trust anchors for securing communication with servers. Thus, the UI is designed to show you only options that are possible to avoid misconfiguration.

That's awesome fair enough!

If you would like to potentially work together on writing some decent docs I would happily collab.

Thanks. Will let you know. I think some sort of wiki will be good for this. Will explore such an option.
