Find NAPTR Records Results

This table describes the content of each column.

Column Description
Subscriber/Operator The subscriber or operator name
Description Description of the record.
Order A 16-bit unsigned integer that specifies the processing order of the NAPTR records, with lower-numbered records processed before higher-numbered records.
Preference

A 16-bit unsigned integer that specifies a processing preference within NAPTR records that have equal order values.

The distinction between the order and preference values is that a client can process records having the same order number but different preference numbers, but cannot process records with a different order number after a match is found.

Flag

A character that governs the interpretation and rewriting of the record's fields. Letters can be either uppercase or lowercase.

Only values S, A, U, and P are defined. The S, A and U flags indicate that the current NAPTR record is the last one and they determine what the next action will be.

  • The letter S specifies that the next lookup is for SRV records.

  • The letter A specifies that the next lookup is for an A, AAAA, or A6 record.

  • The letter U specifies that the output of the Regexp field is a URI. Because some applications also lookup aspects of URIs, developers should understand that this can create loop conditions and take appropriate measures.

The letter P specifies that the rest of the application algorithm is executed in a manner that is consistent with a specified protocol. The rules are identified by the protocol specified in the Services field.

See the standards documentation for the naming authority pointing dns resource record for more information on these values.

Service The service name.
Regular Expression

A string that holds a regular expression to apply to the client's original string to create the next domain name to look up. See the standards documentation for the Naming Authority Pointer DNS Resource Record for information on the substitution rules

The regular expression must be applied only to the client's original string and not to a domain name that was produced by a previous NAPTR rewrite.

Replacement The next name to query for NAPTR, SRV, or address records depending on the value of the Flag field. This must be a fully qualified domain-name
Last User Name of last user to amend (or add) this record
