An address record specifies the mapping of a fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) to an IP address. An FQDN consists of a host and domain name and
includes the top-level domain. For example, www.zyxel.com.tw is a fully
qualified domain name, where "www" is the host, "zyxel" is the second-level
domain, and "com.tw" is the top level domain.
This is the index number of the address record.
This is a host's fully qualified domain name.
This column displays whether or not the DNS wildcard feature is enabled for this
domain name.
This is the IP address of a host.

is grayed out. The ZyWALL uses this default record if the domain name that
needs to be resolved does not match any of the other name server records.

A domain zone is a fully qualified domain name without the host. For example,
zyxel.com.tw is the domain zone for the www.zyxel.com.tw fully qualified
domain name.
