Return domain's DNS zone configuration

This function returns a domain's DNS zone configuration.

Important:

  • This function is deprecated. Use WHM's parse_dns_zone function.
  • You must include either the domain or the zone parameters.
  • When you disable the DNS role, the system disables this function.

Note:

On servers that run CentOS 7, you may see a named warning about the absence of SPF resource records on DNS.

  • This warning is not relevant on CentOS 7 servers, because RFC 7208 deprecated SPF records. CentOS 7 servers use TXT records instead of SPF records.
  • Red Hat 7.1 and CentOS 7.1 both contain bind-9.9.4-23.el7, which is an updated version of BIND that complies with RFC 7208. To resolve this issue, update your operating system to a version that contains the updated version of BIND. For more information, read the Red Hat Bugzilla case about SPF record errors.
