Add DNS records at Gandi

These are the steps for Gandi. For what the records do and how to check the setup afterwards, see Subdomain setup.

Datahash tells you which record type to use and gives you the values. Follow the matching section below and enter the values you were given.

Both record types start the same way in Gandi, so these screenshots cover either one.
