DNS Record Types (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types)

• A: IPv4 Address record
• CNAME: Canonical Name (alias)
• MX: Mail Exchange record (mail servers for domain)
• NS: Name Server record (authoritative name server)
• PTR: Pointer for inverse lookups record (reverse record)
• SOA: Start of Authority record (server authoritative for zone)
• TXT: Text record (arbitrary text string - often used vs. spam)
• HINFO: Host Information record (formerly system type) - rarely used
• RP: Responsible Person record (info of human) - rarely used
• SRV: Service Locator record (host/port info - used for newer protocols instead of creating proto-specific records like MX) - rarely used
