NameSurfer 7.6.4.1


TXT records can be used to attach arbitrary text strings to domain names. They can be used for site-specific purposes, such as free-format comments for documenting the location of a host, or the postal address of the organization the domain belongs to.

There are other record types (such as for HINFO and RP records) that may be used for similar purposes and which may be more appropriate than TXT records when the information to be documented is more structured than a free-format comment. NameSurfer displays TXT records as a multi-line text area. Each line corresponds to a separate TXT record. Because the DNS does not preserve the order of records, you should not rely on the lines being displayed in a particular order.
