DNSv3 allows you to populate the zone with three options: Option 1:
- Empty Zone - create the zone as an empty zone, and manually create records
...
- Populate by AXFR Transfer - transfer zones from an outside server
- Clone an existing zone - use an existing zone as a template, and manually edit as needed
From there, you may either save your changes and complete zone creation, or add in optional field details.

A note on importing large zones via AXFR, You may need to adjust timeout settings depending on the size of the zone you are importing. On the ProVision server, you will need to ensure that it has access to the server that will be transferring the zone and that AXFR is enabled. On the ProVision server, you may need to adjust the php.ini setting "max_execution_time" to 300 seconds, this will ensure that importing a larger zone doesn’t time out. On the DNS server, you may also need to adjust timeout settings (tcp-timeout, max-transfer-time-out, etc.). We recommend that you set timeout settings back to the default if they are not needed. |
Option 3: Clone an existing zone - use an existing zone as a template, and manually edit as needed
