# slicehost-dns

by Matthew Lyon <matt@flowerpowered.com>

## DESCRIPTION:

Helps you manage your DNS entries on the slicehost DNS server via a local YAML file.

## FEATURES

• Create new Zones just by adding them to the YAML file under an IP address

• Automatically creates the root A record and a wildcard A record

• creation of MX and SPF (TXT) records for gmail if desired

• creation of SRV records for google chat if desired

• can dump your current settings to a YAML file

## SYNOPSIS

Set your API key and dump your current config:

export SLICEHOST_API_KEY=234897293823984729390470fkbslkdfjbh
slicehost-dns --dump config.yml

Make some changes and push them back, but do a dry run first because we’re not sure:

slicehost-dns config.yml --dry

OK we’re cool, push the changes for real this time:
