Hi,
Glad to present questions here again.These days DO DNS drew my attention for its anycast and reliable network and #3 uptime on dnsperf.However the SOA record of a single domain name doesn’t meet the criteria of one of my applications,and that’s quite easy to correct - to modify the primary name server from ns1.digitalocean.com to a customized one,like dns1.example.com.Is that possible?
I saw a similar question here (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-can-i-change-the-soa-address-in-dns-settings)[https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-can-i-change-the-soa-address-in-dns-settings] It seems that the SOA record cant be changed in 2017.Do you support it now?
Thanks in advance and hope you a nice day, Shiroka

Hello,
Modifying the primary name server in the SOA record is still not supported on DigitalOcean’s DNS. You can only use DigitalOcean’s name servers (ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2.digitalocean.com, ns3.digitalocean.com) as the primary name servers for domains managed on our platform.
There is an existing vote in our ideas board which I’ll share here:

If you need a custom primary name server, you’ll have to look for a third-party DNS hosting provider that supports this feature.

Hope that helps!
