NimbostratusF5 DNS combine all zones into one top-level zone
We are migrating our F5 DNS(GTM) towards a new automated setup using AS3, but I noticed we forgot the create a top-level zone in the zone runner configuration. So now all our WideIPs already deployed have their own zone file with the A-records of the pool members.
We can create a new top-level zone which should cover all our WideIPs but I am looking for away to transfer all the already existing A-records into this new top-level zone so we delete all the wideip specific zones.
Is there an option to re-group all the records into this top-level zone?

Hello,
You can create or transfer DNS zone files using the ZoneRunner utility. The KB will help you - Creating or transferring DNS zone files using the ZoneRunner utility

Aswin Could you please explain more about your inquiry and try to give examples!
RemcoALet me try to explain. In our internal DNS setup we have delegated zone xxx.yyy.net towards our F5 DNS. But when we started deploy wideips we did not create zone xxx.yyy.net in the zonerunner configuration. So what now has happened that for every wideip we created a zone <wideip-name>.xxx.yyy.net has been created with A-records for all poolmembers for this wideip.
So we are investigating how we can create the top-level zone xxx.yyy.net in the zone runner configuration an move all A-records in this zone and delete all wideip specfic zones.
But I am also not sure what the best way of working is in this case, should we created a zone for the delegated zone xxx.yyy.net or just let the system create the wideip specific zones?
