What's a zone file?
There are many examples scattered across the internet. Here's one:
$ORIGIN flowers.horse.
@ 3600 SOA ns1.p30.dynect.net. (
zone-admin.dyndns.com. ; address of responsible party
2016072701 ; serial number
3600 ; refresh period
600 ; retry period
604800 ; expire time
1800 ) ; minimum ttl
86400 NS ns1.p30.dynect.net.
86400 NS ns2.p30.dynect.net.
86400 NS ns3.p30.dynect.net.
86400 NS ns4.p30.dynect.net.
3600 MX 10 mail.flowers.horse.
3600 MX 20 vpn.flowers.horse.
3600 MX 30 mail.flowers.horse.
60 A 204.13.248.106
3600 TXT "v=spf1 includespf.dynect.net ~all"
mail 14400 A 204.13.248.106
vpn 60 A 216.146.45.240
webapp 60 A 216.146.46.10
webapp 60 A 216.146.46.11
www 43200 CNAME flowers.horse.
This app expects you to upload a .txt file, so if your zone file doesn't have an extension, you'll need to add .txt to the end.
What about my SOA record?
Netlify doesn't support creating SOA records, so the app won't show you an SOA record even if it was in the zone file.
What about this [silent failure, weird UI thing, unhandled case]?
There are many! This is a work in progress. Please file an issue and I'll take a look :)
