Hello!  
I´m configuring GSLB with a challenge which is to answer the queries for [example.com](http://example.com) as A record.  
[example.com](http://example.com) → x.x.x.x  
The thing is that when we configured GSLB we have to add the domain in the zone and then configure the services for example [www.example.com](http://www.example.com)

Does someone know how can I do this?

You can create a service without a name. From CLI, do not enter a service name after the port, and from the GUI, do not enter a service name in the text field. This will create a FQDN for the gslb zone name.

**CLI** :

```yaml
gslb zone gslb.dunnlab.com
  service 443
    dns-a-record web2 ttl 0 static

```

**GUI** 1. :  
GSLB \> FQDNS \> Create

1. Select Existing Zone. Leave Service field empty. Enter Port #. Create.
2. Edit the new FQDN. Create Service A Record. Update FQDN

Hope this helps!
