A DNS master file contains resource records that describe a zone. When you
use the DNS/DHCP Management Utility to build a zone, the DNS objects and
their attributes translate into resource records for that zone.
You can use the DNS/DHCP Management Utility to import a DNS master file
if it conforms to IETF RFCs 1035, 1036, and 1183 and is in BIND master file
format. A sample DNS master file is shown in the following example.
