NAME
Net::DNS::RR::DELEG - DNS DELEG resource record

SYNOPSIS
        use Net::DNS;
        $rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG server-ipv4=192.0.2.1 ...');
        $rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG server-ipv6=2001:db8::53 ...');
        $rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG server-name=nameserver.example ...');

DESCRIPTION
The DNS DELEG resource record set, wherever it appears, designates the authoritative nameservers and transport parameters to be used to resolve queries for data at the owner name or any subordinate thereof.

The DELEG RRset is authoritative data within the delegating zone. A DELEG RRset must not appear at the apex of a delegated zone.
