NoteThe appliance does not encode punycode when you import zone data containing punycode. For example, a zone data containing IDNs in punycode is stored in punycode for the data being imported. The data is managed in punycode only. |

About Importing Data into a New Zone
When the appliance imports data to a newly created zone, it imports the existing A, CNAME, DNAME, SRV, TXT, MX, PTR, host, and bulk host records, but creates NS (and A records matching that NS record) and SOA records appropriate for the destination server. The NS and SOA records are auto-created when a destination appliance is specified as the primary or secondary name server for the new zone. If the imported zone has extra NS records, they are rewritten to specify the source server as an external secondary. Delegation is also added for any subzones. The subzone records are not imported.
...
When you import zone data into an existing zone, the zone retains the NS and SOA records automatically created when the zone was originally created and replaces all other records—A, PTR, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, DNAME, host, and bulk hostrecords. The local appliance also retains subzones and records in the subzones that exist locally. If there are no duplicatesduplicate records between the imported zone and the existing zone, the destination appliance records in the existing zone are retained. If the imported zone has extra NS records, those records change to designate the source server as an external secondary.
...
In Grid Manager, you can import zone data when you create the zone using the Add Authoritative Zone wizard and when you edit an existing zone. For information on how to add a new zone through the wizard, see Configuring Authoritative Zones. The last step of the wizard provides the option to import zone data. The following procedure describes how to import data into an existing zone.
Note: Only superusers can import zone data that contains A, AAAA, shared A, or shared AAAA records with a blank name. Limited-access users must have read/write permission to Adding a blank A/AAAA record in order to import zone data that contains A, AAAA, shared A, or shared AAAA records with a blank name, otherwise the import zone data operation might fail. You can assign global permission for specific admin groups and roles to allow to import A, AAAA, shared A, or shared AAAA records with a blank name. For more information, see Administrative Permissions for Adding Blank A or AAAA Records.
To import data into an existing zone:
From the Data Management tab, select the DNS tab -> Zones tab -> zone checkbox, and then click Import Zone in the Toolbar.
In the Import Zone dialog box, specify the following:
The IP address of the name server from which you want to import data.
Optionally, click the Automatically create Infoblox host records from A records checkbox.
Click Import.
When the local server successfully imports the zone data, a Confirmation message appears. If the local server cannot import the zone data, an Error message appears, recommending that you verify the correctness of the IP address of the remote server and zone information.
