Importing DNS Zones

ProVision offers three DNS zone import options, available under the Data Import tab in the Admin section.

BIND Zone Import

• Imports using the named.conf configuration file tied to the zones you are uploading, a .zip or .tar file of the zones themselves, and an optional .csv file mapping zones to customers and DNS Servers.

DynECT Zone Import

• Imports and syncs ALL zones on the system with those in your DnyECT instance.  This means any zones in ProVision not present in your DynECT instance will be removed and any changes lost. 

PowerDNS Zone Import 

• Option is available after configuring a PowerDNS server with a MySQL backend.  Connects to the selected server and imports all zones.

When it comes to importing your DNS zones, the simplest way is using the BIND zone import function built into ProVision. Below, you can also download "sample" files if you wish for examples.
