Return a complete zone for a domain

[wgjr]

Thank you for providing this excellent class of PowerDns control

I'm having a hard time understanding. How can we receive and format all entries in a domain's zone?

I can get the entries with -> zone ($ domain) -> get ();
However, I can't understand how to format it in a readable form.

Hi @wgjr,

The results of the zone->get() call can be looped to get data for each record. I've just pushed an additional example showing how to get the records created by the 'new_domain' example. You can change line 13 to a zone of your own if you want to try it with your own data.

Based on the other examples the output of the script should look something like this:

| AAAA |      www.dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 2a00:1e28:3:1629::1
| A    |      www.dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 127.0.0.1
| AAAA |   mail02.dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 2a00:1e28:3:1629::3
| A    |   mail02.dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 127.0.0.2
| AAAA |   mail01.dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 2a00:1e28:3:1629::2
| A    |   mail01.dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 127.0.0.1
| AAAA |          dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 2a00:1e28:3:1629::1
| TXT  |          dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> "v=spf1 a mx include:_spf.example.com ?all"
| MX   |          dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 10 mail01.dns-new-zone-test.nl., 20 mail02.dns-new-zone-test.nl.
| SOA  |          dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> ns1.exonet.nl. hostmaster.exonet.nl. 2020021903 10800 3600 604800 3600
| NS   |          dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> ns1.example.com., ns2.example.
| A    |          dns-new-zone-test.nl. --> 127.0.0.1

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi @trizz,

Thanks for the quick response.

It works perfectly.

@trizz can you think of a way to export a zone in AXFR format? As far as I can see it's possible to get it via powerdns API

GET /servers/{server_id}/zones/{zone_id}/export
