# Update DNS zone record

This function edits a DNS zone record. To effectively use this function, use the following workflow:
 1. Run the dumpzone function on the DNS zone record to edit.
 1. Locate the Line value that corresponds to the data to edit.
 1. Use the values from that zone record to formulate the appropriate editzonerecord parameters.

Important:

* When you call this function, you must include the additional parameters for the selected zone record type.
* To change the zone record's IP address, we recommend that you use the swapip script or the setsiteip function instead.
 You cannot edit other DNS zones that reside on Write-only* servers in a DNS cluster.

Note:

On servers that run CentOS 7, you may see a named warning about the absence of SPF resource records on DNS.
  * This warning is not relevant on CentOS 7 servers, because RFC 7208 deprecated SPF records. CentOS 7 servers use TXT records instead of SPF records.
  * Red Hat 7.1 and CentOS 7.1 both contain bind-9.9.4-23.el7, which is an updated version of BIND that complies with RFC 7208. To resolve this issue, update your operating system to a version that contains the updated version of BIND. For more information, read the Red Hat Bugzilla case about SPF record errors.

Important:

When you disable the DNS role, the system disables this function.
