I am looking for a way to import and old zone to a new one.

newzone.com - has a few new hosts, and AD information

oldzone.com - contains many host entries

I want to move all the hosts from oldzone.com to
newzone.com without creating them by hand. I was able to
extract them to a text file.

I do not want to overwrite newzone.com either, I want to
ADD to it.
 
Hello,

This may be a little complicated because newzone.com sounds like it may be
AD integrated.

On a domain controller, change newzone.com to a Standard Primary. Save the
zone file to newzone.com.dns.
Stop the DNS service.
You can find the dns file in c:\winnt\system32\dns (in most cases).
Edit newzone.dns.com, add the entries from oldzone.com.
Change the serial number in newzone.com.dns to something higher than the
current value in your production DNS.
Start the DNS service.
Change newzone.com back to AD inegrated.

regards,

SteveC
