Example: False | | root_name_server_type | String | No | | | This is a single inheritance from GridDns. Example: Custom | | match_clients | ACL | No | | | List of **address_tsig_ac** items. It can be an IP address, a network entry, **Any** or a **TSIG**-/permission. If the first value is not Any or TSIG-, it is assumed to be an IP address or a network entry. Example: 10.0.0.10/Allow, 11.0.0.0/16/Deny, TSIG-foo/xyz/Allow. It can also be a named ACL. Example: NACL1. | | match_destinations | ACL | No | | | Indicates the match_destination list. It can be an IP address, a network, Any or a TSIG-/permission. If the first value is not **Any** or **TSIG-,** it is assumed to be an IP address or a network entry.

Infoblox recommends that you specify values for **nxdomain_redirect_addresses** and **nxdomain_redirect** fields and do not leave these fields blank while performing a CSV import operation. | | nxdomain_redirect_ttl | Unsigned integer | No | | | Indicates the NXDOMAIN redirect ttl in seconds. Example: 60 | | nxdomain_log_query | Boolean | No | | | When you set this to **True**, NXDOMAIN redirections will be logged.Example: False | | nxdomain_rulesets | List of domain names | No | | | List of Ruleset objects used for NXDOMAIN redirection. Example: nxd1.com, nxd2.com | | enable_blacklist | Boolean | No | | enable_blacklist | Enable or disable blacklisting at the Grid level. Example: False | | blacklist_redirect_addresses | IP address list | No | | blacklist_redirect_ addresses | Set or retrieve the list of IPv4 addresses to which the blacklisted queries are redirected.Example: 1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2 | | blacklist_action | String | No | | | Specify the action to be performed when a domain name matches the pattern defined in an assigned rule. Example: Redirect | | blacklist_redirect_ttl | Unsigned integer | No | | | Set or retrieve the TTL value of synthetic DNS responses resulted by blacklisted queries. Example: 60 | | blacklist_log_query | Boolean | No | | blacklist_log_query | Specify if blacklisted queries must be logged. Example: False | | blacklist_rulesets | List of domain names | No | | blacklist_rulesets | Specify or retrieve ruleset objects that are blacklisted at the Grid level. Example: list1.com, list2.com, ... | | enable_dns64 | Boolean | No | | | Enable or disable DNS64 synthesis. Example: False | | dns64_groups | DNS64 group list | No | | | List of SynthesisGroup objects. Example: dns64_grp1, dns64_grp2 | | forwarders_only | Boolean | No | Use Forwarders Only | forward_only | Enable use of forwarders only. Example: False | | forwarders | IP address list | No | | forwarders | List of forwarders for zone transfers. Example: "10.10.0.1,20.20.0.1,.." | | filter_aaaa | String | No | | | Indicates the type of AAAA filtering for this Grid DNS object. The default value is **No**. Example: Yes | | filter_aaaa_list | ACL | No | | | Indicates the list of IPv4 addresses and networks from which queries are received. Note that the AAAA filtering is applied to these addresses. Example: “12.0.0.12/Deny,13.0.0.0/8/Allow,. .” or “NACL1” | | max_cache_ttl | Unsigned integer | No | | | Indicates the maximum time (in seconds) for which the server will cache positive answers. The default value is 604800. | | max_ncache_ttl | Unsigned integer | No | | | Indicates the maximum time (in seconds) for which the server will cache negative (NXDOMAIN) responses. The default value is 10800. The maximum allowed value is 604800. | | EA-Site | String | No | Extensible attribute | extensible_attributes | EA-Site is an example of a predefined extensible attribute. You can add other predefined attributes to the data file. Example: California. | | EA-Users | String | No | Extensible attribute | extensible_attributes | EA-Users is an example of a user defined attribute. You can add other user defined attributes to the data file. Example: John. | | ADMGRP-XXXX | String | No | Permissions Admin Group/Role | permission | ADMGRP-JimSmith is an example of an admin permission of a specific admin group. Example: RW | | rpz_drop_ip_rule_enabled | Boolean | No | Ignore RPZ-IP triggers with too small prefix lengths | | When this is set to True, DNS server ignores RPZ-IP rules with prefix lengths that are less than the specified prefix length limit. Example: TRUE | | rpz_drop_ip_rule_min_prefix_length_ipv4 | Unsigned Integer | No | Minimum IPv4 Prefix Length | | Indicates the minimum IPv4 prefix length for RPZ-IP triggers. The default value is 29. | | rpz_drop_ip_rule_min_prefix_length_ipv6 | Unsigned Integer | No | Maximum IPv4 Prefix Length | | Indicates the minimum IPv6 prefix length for RPZ-IP triggers. The default value is 112 | For CSV import/export of IPv4 network containers, see *[IPv4 Network Container](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/2082799625)*.
