In DNSv3, zone files in the server directory will have a number appended, similar to 'example.com._123.zone'. This number is the Resource ID associated with the zone, and is used in ProVision to identify the zone and differentiate zones that may have the same name, but under different DNS Groups. This append does not affect any zone functionality otherwise. |
