Ensim Pro provides default information about the SOA
records that are created for all the zones on the name server. The default
information will apply to every SOA
record created, unless you manually change the specific SOA
record.

SOA record,
you can modify just the zone-specific SOA
record.

the shortcuts section of the ,
click Zones (DNS section).
In the Zone List
form, locate the zone whose record you want to modify, and in the Actions
column, click
. The Host List form opens. It displays all
existing records for the zone.
In the Start of Authority
(SOA) Settings
form, click Edit SOA
Settings. The Edit Start of Authority (SOA)
Settings form opens.

In the Administrator
Email field, enter the email address of the administrator responsible
for the primary DNS name server.

checks with the primary name server for updated lookup information.
In the Retry interval
field, enter how long, in seconds, a secondary server must wait before
retrying a failed zone transfer from the primary name server. Normally,
the retry interval is shorter than the refresh interval.

name server can use the lookup data it currently has before the data expires.
