Cloudflare BIND Zone File Upload

A quick script to upload a BIND zone file to Cloudflare

WARNING: THIS WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR CURRENT DNS RECORDS FOR YOUR DOMAIN!

Tip:

Export your current DNS records before using this script.

Go to Cloudflare, choose your domain and go to the DNS tab, then the advanced button -> Export DNS records.

Why?

I wanted an easy way to "sync" DNS records since there isn't a way to do that currently with Virtualmin.

Issues?

Not all records are valid. (See sample output below)

Example usage

 ./cloudflare_BIND_upload.sh email@domain.com auth-key zone-id domain.com false

• The script will search /var for domain.com.hosts file so that it'll match the domain you enter in the cmd, and copy it to the current dir as domain.com.txt

sample output
