Zone file
Encyclopedia : Z : ZO : ZON : Zone file
In computer networking, a zone file is a database element of the domain name system (DNS) used by BIND and other DNS server software. A zone file typically contains information that defines mappings between domain names and IP addresses and can also contain reverse mappings which can resolve IP addresses into domain names.
The format of the zone file is defined in RFC 1035 as well as the documentation for BIND.
