Multiple record upload

To import a complete DNS zone from a text file, follow these steps:

1. Access the PDNS administration panel:

   https://pdns-app.planisys.net:8443/

2. Log in using the provided credentials.

3. Click the +Import Zone button.

   

4. A screen will appear where you must:

   • Select the NS-Set. Choose: globaldns

   • Upload the .txt file that contains the zone records.

   

5. The file must follow the format below:

   Warning

   The file must strictly comply with the classic BIND9 format for all records. This includes:

   • Each line must have fields properly separated by tabs or spaces.

   • The domain name must be an FQDN (ending with a dot).

   • The first record must be an SOA record to identify the zone name.

   • All TTLs, classes (IN), and types (A, MX, etc.) must be explicitly defined.

   Example:

   ;
   ;  PDNS exported at 2025-05-14 13:41:02
   ;
   domain177.net.                3600    IN    SOA   pdns1.live. hostmaster.planisys.com      2023103006     10800     3600   604800     3600
   domain177.net.                3600    IN    NS    pdns-1.planisys.net.
   domain177.net.                3600    IN    NS    pdns-2.planisys.net.
   name2.domain177.net.          3600    IN    AAAA  2803:bc00::17
   tots.com.ar.domain177.net.    3600    IN    CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com.
   xyz.domain177.net.            3600    IN    MX    10 avas-mx-corpmail7-1.planisys.net.
   _sip._tls.domain177.net.      3600    IN    SRV   10 100 443 sipdir.online.lync.com.
   _sip._tls.domain177.net.      3600    IN    SRV   10 100 443 sipdir.online.lync.com.
   

6. After uploading the file, confirm the import.

7. Once finished, a popup will display the created records:

   

8. The zone will now be created and visible in the zone list:

   

Recommendations

• Ensure that all FQDNs end with a dot (.), such as domain177.net. or ghs.googlehosted.com.

• Do not leave empty lines between records.

• Follow logical order: SOA → NS → other RRs.
