How to use AWS Route 53 with FortiGSLB

1. Register a domain from Route 53. Follow the AWS domain name registration instructions. Note: It will take some time to register the domain.
2. Go to Registered domains and click your Domain Name. Route 53 will display details of the domain. Click on Manage DNS.
3. Go to Add or edit name servers on the domain general information page. Set the Name servers and Glue records as SOA records directly taken from FortiGSLB. Route 53 requires at least two name servers, so do not delete all other name servers.
   

   Note: Route 53 will take a while to complete the name server update. Here Name server is the NS from SOA record, and the Glue records is the IP where NS points to.
   
   

   Your domain SOA records should look something like the following when you DiG from FortiGSLB directly.
   

4. If you enabled the DNSSEC for the domain, you can configure the DNSSEC by clicking Manage Keys. Select Key type and Algorithm, and paste the Public key without any spaces. Keys can be downloaded from the FortiGSLB zone configuration page.

   The following key file indicates that it is a key-signing key file and the algorithm is 5. Usually there will be two parts of the key, separated by a space. When you paste the key into Route 53 Manage DNSSEC keys, make sure to remove the space.
