ipv4addr string			The IPv4 Address of the record. Mutually exclusive with the ipv6addr. aliases: ipv4
ipv6addr string			The IPv6 Address of the record. Mutually exclusive with the ipv4addr. aliases: ipv6

state string		present ← absent	Configures the intended state of the instance of the object on the NIOS server. When this value is set to `present`, the object is configured on the device and when this value is set to `absent` the value is removed (if necessary) from the device.
ttl integer			Time To Live (TTL) value for the record. A 32-bit unsigned integer that represents the duration, in seconds, that the record is valid (cached). Zero indicates that the record should not be cached.
