 # Vercel Dynamic DNS
 
 Simple script for exposing a local server with [Vercel DNS](https://vercel.com/docs/custom-domains).
-It runs on CRON, checking the current IP address and updating DNS records for your domain.

 5. Open the cron settings using the command `crontab -e`
 6. Add the following line to the cron job: `*/15 * * * * /path-to/vercel-ddns/dns-sync.sh`
 
+### Configuration
+
+Set these values inside `dns.config`:
+
+- `VERCEL_TOKEN`: Personal token from https://vercel.com/account/tokens
+- `DOMAINS`: Comma-separated list of fully qualified domains you want to keep in sync. Examples: `example.com`, `api.example.com, www.example.com`, `foo.bar.example.com, example.com`. The script treats the last two labels as the apex domain (e.g. `foo.bar.example.com` → apex `example.com`, subdomain `foo.bar`).
+
 ## Usage example
 
 ```sh
-# Creating
+# Creating (multiple domains supported)
 ➜  ./dns-sync.sh
 Updating IP: x.x.x.x
-Record for SUBDOMAIN does not exist. Creating...
+Processing api.example.com
+Record for api.example.com does not exist. Creating...
+Processing example.com
+Record for example.com already exists (id: rec_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Updating...
 🎉 Done!
 
 # Updating
