I set up cloudflare for a domain a few weeks ago as a stopgap to have TLS. I now want to move this domain to AWS and Route 53.
The domain has been added to Route 53, but I'm not sure how to change the NS/SOA records for the domain. The settings I would like to have are set in Route 53, but I'm not sure how I should move it from Cloudflare with no downtime. (I didn't dare to “delete” it from Cloudflare.)
Here's the current SOA
(from dig
):
mydomain.com. 86400 IN SOA abby.ns.cloudflare.com. dns.cloudflare.com. 2023806844 10000 2400 604800 3600
and the current values for NS
:
mydomain.com. 86400 IN NS roan.ns.cloudflare.com.
mydomain.com. 86400 IN NS abby.ns.cloudflare.com.
I tried adding the four NS
records from Route 53 to the domain in Cloudflare, but that doesn't seem to have had an effect (it's been 24 hours) and since there weren't any NS
records there from before, it's probably not what I should be doing…
What's the correct process for doing a transfer like this? Am I even correct in that SOA
and NS
changes is what needs to happen?
