Help Documentation Change Suggestion

Hi Support Team (esp. Brian McDonald / Steve James)

I've referred to the 'Configuring DNS Settings for a Custom Website Domain' support page ( support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/dns-settings-overview ) a few times and find it a little confusing.  I'd like to suggest changing or adding to the page so that it reflects the DNS configuration fields of the three domain registrars I've used.

Current Text
3 Class A

domain.ext A 50.19.253.65
www.domain.ext A 50.19.253.65
mail.domain.ext A 50.19.253.65

1 MX record for mail

domain.ext MX-10 mail.domain.ext

Suggested Change/Addition
Type: A record
Host: @
Value: 50.19.253.65
TTL: Automatic

Type: A record
Host: www
Value: 50.19.253.65
TTL: Automatic

Type: A record
Host: mail
Value: 50.19.253.65
TTL: Automatic

Type: MX record
Host: @
Mail server value: mail.domain
Priority: 10

Your suggestions are only valid for the godaddy type of dns manager.
There are many others that are formatted differently on the data entry pages.
