Batch ZONE creation in GTM

I need to redirect a bunch of parked domains to our known domains.. Subsequently I need to create a zone in order to create an A records for the parked domains..

 

 

 

Is there a reccomend way for this to be done from the CLI vs. manuall creation of every zone from the gui..?

 

 

I have some expierence with running straight bind.. but I don't want to step on anything by createing zones with scripts on the bigip software..

 

 

Any direction would be much apprecaite...

 

 

Thanks!
