What are the zone files?
A
'zone file' is a special file on a name server
that designates a domain name
with all of its associated DNS records ie -
sub domains, IP addresses, and mail server.
Parts of the zone file include the A record,
CNAME, and MX records. A zone file is also called
a "DNS table". They are one of the
basic structures of the Internet that allow
domains to work.
