TXT records
A TXT record consists of a domain name and a string. The dnsDefaultText directive sets the domain name to the name of the domain the DNS record belongs to, which is the most typical case. The equivalent in some other domain management interfaces is putting @ in the domain name field. Let's say we're setting DNS records for example.com.
Domtool directive
dnsDefaultText "Wow, so text";
Resulting DNS record
example.com. IN TXT "Wow, so text"
