+    The built-in DNS providers are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please migrate to external DNS plugins for continued support.

-    A plugin system for DNS providers is currently in the ideation phase. This would make it significantly easier to add and configure additional DNS providers without modifying the core ionscale code. Stay tuned for updates on this feature in future releases.

+- **Extensibility**: Add support for any DNS provider without modifying ionscale
+- **Maintainability**: Plugins are maintained independently
+- **Flexibility**: Plugin configuration specific to each provider's needs

Official plugin implementations can be found in the [ionscale GitHub organization](https://github.com/ionscale) with repositories named `ionscale-<provider>-dns`. You can also create your own following the plugin specification.
 
 ## DNS provider configuration

 ### Important requirements
 
 1. The `magic_dns_suffix` must be a subdomain of the provider's zone (or the zone itself).
 2. MagicDNS must be enabled for the tailnet to use HTTPS certificates.
 3. You must have administrative access to the DNS zone to configure the provider.
+4. For external plugins, the plugin executable must be accessible and executable by the ionscale process.

+### General troubleshooting

 1. **Check DNS Provider Credentials**: Ensure the credentials in your configuration have sufficient permissions.
 2. **Verify Zone Configuration**: Make sure the zone in your configuration matches your actual DNS zone.
 3. **Check MagicDNS Settings**: Confirm that `magic_dns_suffix` is properly configured as a subdomain of your zone.
 4. **Review Server Logs**: The ionscale server logs may contain error messages related to DNS provider integration.
 5. **Test DNS Record Creation**: Some providers offer tools to test API access for creating and updating DNS records.
