Nimbostratushow to add multiple DNS zones for DNS Express
Hey All,
I have over 150 zones that I need to transfer to a BigIP for DNS Express.
i'd like to know if there is a more efficient way of adding the zones instead of adding them one by one from the GUI...

NimbostratusThank you very much for the reply Kevin.K
I was able to get the zones imported by creating a text file with the domain names and saving it to the local disk, then running the following command in bash:
for a in `cat /home/admin/Zones | awk '{print tolower($0)}'`; do echo "creating zone $a"; tmsh create ltm dns zone $a dns-express-allow-notify add {*IPaddress*} dns-express-server *DNS_Server*; done
Wow, a one line solution. That is awesome! We should probably try to create some documentation about this for our other users.
Oh one other important point I forgot to mention. You should be sure to save the config:
tmsh save sys config
Keep us posted if there are any updates and thank you for posting the script!
Kevin
