DNS Zone vs ZoneRunner

Hello All,   I was wondering, what is the difference between a Zone and a ZoneRunner in Big IP DNS? I do see some people configure using Zones, and others using ZoneRunner.

zonerunner is different from a zone, zonerunner is a configuration utility for changing the bind configuration to manage zones among other things, see:

DNS zone is not specially something F5 related, are you sure about this question?

 

when you mean DNS zone, do you perhaps mean DNS Express?
