Understanding How The API Works »
Creating a new Real Time Traffic Management(RTTM) service region pool entry in the API requires specific syntax depending on whether you are using REST or SOAP. Use this table to find the syntax for your command.
In order for monitoring to occur on your account, please make sure the IP addresses included here (https://manage.dynect.net/help/agents.html) can reach all your network endpoints. The web page requires you to log-on to Dyn’s Managed DNS.
