Create or update a glue record

Read full description Hide full description

Create or update a registry host object for a child nameserver under the domain. Use this only for child nameservers such as ns1.example.com on the example.com domain. hostname must be a fully qualified hostname under the domain being managed, 3-255 characters long. ips must contain 1-10 valid public IPv4 or IPv6 addresses; private, loopback, link-local, shared-address, and unspecified/special ranges are rejected by the legacy registry layer. Glue management is currently available for .se, .nu, and .test domains, with a registry limit of 13 host objects per domain. This endpoint does not change the domain nameserver set and does not create DNS zone A/AAAA records; use POST /api/v2/domains/{id}/nameservers to use a nameserver, and POST /api/v2/dns-zones/{id}/records for zone records.
