Importing DNS Zones

Documentation 5.3.0 > Import DNS Zones > 5.1.3 Data Import Tab.png

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

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.

PowerDNS Zone Import

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

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.
