## DNSimple DNS
Rancher External DNS service powered by DNSimple DNS
#### Changelog
##### v0.6.0
* Reduces the overall rate of API requests to the DNS provider
* Adds support for custom DNS naming convention
* Stack, service and environment names used in service DNS names are now sanitized to conform with RFC 1123. Characters other than `a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9` or `dash` are replaced by dashes.
* For internal use the service creates TXT records to track the FQDNs it manages. These TXT records are named `external-dns-<environemntUUID>.<domain>` and should not be deleted.
#### Usage
##### Upgrade Notes
While upgrading from a version lower than v0.6.0 the TTL configuration value should not be changed. You may change it once the upgrade has been completed.
##### Limitation when running the service on multiple Rancher servers
When running multiple instances of the External DNS service configured to use the **same** domain name, then only one of them can run in the "Default" environment of a Rancher server instance.
##### Custom DNS name template
By default DNS entries are named `<service>.<stack>.<environment>.<domain>`.
You can specify a custom name template used to construct the subdomain part (left of the domain/zone name) of the DNS records. The following placeholders are supported:
* `%{{service_name}}`
* `%{{stack_name}}`
* `%{{environment_name}}`
**Example:**
`%{{stack_name}}-%{{service_name}}.statictext`
Make sure to only use characters in static text and separators that your provider allows in DNS names.
