Known Issues

• Deleting some records with the GoDaddy API client can be a little buggy - only way to delete is by providing the name of the record and optionally the record type. This works sometimes, but not always in my experience.
• Adding a MX record with the Namecheap API client usually fails unless the MAIL SETTINGS value has been changed to Custom MX using the web interface
• The route53 library requires that DNS records have a TTL value otherwise it will fail to get a list of records. So far, I've encounterd this on A records that have the Value/route traffic to set to an alias (on/off slider in the Route53 web interface)
