+---------+-----------+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+------+------+---------------------+
| id      | domain_id | name  | type | content
                         | ttl  | prio | change_date         |
+---------+-----------+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+------+------+---------------------+
