[Feature request] CAA DNS record (Certification Authority Authorization)

Posted January 23, 2017
DNS Security

Would it be possible to support the CAA DNS record?

https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/caa-record/ https://blog.dnsimple.com/2017/01/introducing-caa-records/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_Certification_Authority_Authorization https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6844

This currently shows up as a notice if missing when doing Qualy’s SSL Server Test.

I just ran a test at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html everything came back great except CAA record missing. Went to add it on digital ocean networking tab… No option to add it.

This would be a good addition

They check it frequently, so that’d definitely be where I’d get that posted.

Hi @digitalocean.jj05 & @SpartanK,

I’m happy to say that DigitalOcean DNS now supports CAA records!
