A name server (NS) group is a collection of one or more DNS servers. Grouping a commonly used set of DNS servers together simplifies zone creation by enabling you to specify a single NS group instead of specifying multiple name servers individually.

- Authoritative name server group
- Delegation name server group
- Forwarding member name server group
- Stub member name server group
- Forward/Stub server name server group
