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.

Preparing your DNS Zones for Import

If your zone data is currently in BIND format - this is very straightforward.

There are three components to the upload process:

1) The named.conf of configuration file tied to the zones you are uploading.

It could be as simple as a multi-line file:

zone "my-zone.com" { type master; file "my-zone.com.zone"; };
zone "my-other-zone.com" { type master; file "my-other-zone.com.zone"; };
zone "my-third-zone.com" { type master; file "my-third-zone.com.zone"; };

or could be more complex like this file structure directory:

zone "my-zone.com" { type master; file "/usr/local/zones/my-zone.com.zone"; };
zone "my-other-zone.com" { type master; file "/usr/local/zones/more/my-other-zone.com.zone"; };
zone "my-third-zone.com" { type master; file "/usr/local/zones/more/even more/my-third-zone.com.zone"; };
