# audasmedia.com.au — DNS Baseline (pre-Cloudflare migration)
> Captured 2026-08-31. **Must be preserved when moving DNS to Cloudflare.**
> Registrar: **CrazyDomains** (now Squarespace). Current NS: **InMotion** (`ns1/ns2.inmotionhosting.com`).
> Website currently hosted on **InMotion VPS** (`173.231.229.92`).
## Current records (authoritative)
| Type | Name | Value | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | `@` | `173.231.229.92` | Website → InMotion VPS (keep as-is for now) |
| A | `cpanel` | `173.231.229.92` | cPanel access |
| A | `webmail` | `173.231.229.92` | InMotion webmail |
| A | `ftp` | `173.231.229.92` | FTP |
| CNAME | `www` | `@` (alias to apex) | www redirect |
| CNAME | `mail` | `@` | mail alias → apex |
| MX | `@` | `0 audasmedia.com.au` | **Self-MX (broken)** — replace with Zoho's MX |
| TXT | `@` | `v=spf1 ip4:173.231.229.92 +mx +a +ip4:66.117.5.136 ~all` | Old SPF (InMotion IPs) — update to include Zoho + SES |
| NS | `@` | `ns1/ns2.inmotionhosting.com` | **Replace with Cloudflare's 2 NS at registrar** |
## Notes
- No AAAA. No existing DKIM/DMARC (fresh).
- `autodiscover` NXDOMAIN (no record — fine; Zoho doesn't need it).
- After Cloudflare migration: A records stay identical (site remains on InMotion VPS until CMS migration); only MX/SPF/TXT/DKIM/DMARC change for email.
## Email target (Phase 2)
- **Inbound:** ~~Zoho Mail free tier~~ — **FAILED (SMS OTP never arrives after 1h; Zoho is SMS-only verification). Abandoned. Fallback: MXroute (~US$30-45/yr flat, unlimited domains).**
- **Outbound:** **Amazon SES** — identity created ✅ (domain `audasmedia.com.au`, region ap-southeast-2)
- **MX → (provider TBD: MXroute), SPF → include provider + SES, DKIM → SES (3 CNAMEs below) + provider, DMARC → new**
## SES records to add (from console, 2026-08-31)
These go into **Cloudflare** once NS switch propagates (still InMotion now).
### DKIM (3 CNAMEs)
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | `3hcitiezqbwlyyrqhvuovye47ybnbheq._domainkey.audasmedia.com.au` | `3hcitiezqbwlyyrqhvuovye47ybnbheq.dkim.amazonses.com` |
| CNAME | `lswlbc3gsmshm4b22bpyfn5k2evdgrdh._domainkey.audasmedia.com.au` | `lswlbc3gsmshm4b22bpyfn5k2evdgrdh.dkim.amazonses.com` |
| CNAME | `ac5j6wxukvq6b5dacrp5xgzkdsovmm2e._domainkey.audasmedia.com.au` | `ac5j6wxukvq6b5dacrp5xgzkdsovmm2e.dkim.amazonses.com` |
### MAIL FROM (optional — recommend SKIP for now, low volume)
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| MX | `audasmedia.com.au.audasmedia.com.au` | `10 feedback-smtp.ap-southeast-2.amazonses.com` |
| TXT | `audasmedia.com.au.audasmedia.com.au` | `"v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all"` |
### DMARC
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | `_dmarc.audasmedia.com.au` | `"v=DMARC1; p=none;"` |
## DNS state (2026-08-31)
- audasmedia.com.au NS = **Cloudflare live** (jo/osmar.ns.cloudflare.com). All email records added & verified (MX route1/2/3, DKIM×3, DMARC, SPF incl. Cloudflare+SES). Email Routing → Gmail working.
- MAIL FROM set to default (banner cleared; DMARC passes via DKIM).

# where-woof.com — SES + DNS records (2026-08-31)
## SES DKIM records (from console 2026-08-31, to add in Cloudflare)
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | `cvcclakmcygnuzc6hc237jcunxztznni._domainkey.where-woof.com` | `cvcclakmcygnuzc6hc237jcunxztznni.dkim.amazonses.com` |
| CNAME | `3qm6ag2wigpqvolutvtbsdeo4gzftlqn._domainkey.where-woof.com` | `3qm6ag2wigpqvolutvtbsdeo4gzftlqn.dkim.amazonses.com` |
| CNAME | `vwwijgnfbkarbnbaaswproqmy2v26yo7._domainkey.where-woof.com` | `vwwijgnfbkarbnbaaswproqmy2v26yo7.dkim.amazonses.com` |
## where-woof.com state (2026-08-31)
- Cloudflare zone **live** (SOA on barbara.ns.cloudflare.com). Public NS still showing InMotion = propagation finishing.
- NS switched at Squarespace to Cloudflare. A records: apex/www/admin → `144.6.86.11` (DNS-only/grey). InMotion A's (cpanel/cpcalendars/cpcontacts/ftp/webdisk/webmail/whm) + localhost + stale TXT deleted.
- SES identity created; **MAIL FROM = default** (unchecked). DKIM records above pending → add to Cloudflare.
- Email target: `hello@where-woof.com` → Cloudflare Email Routing → samuelrolfe@gmail.com; SES outbound.
