This function creates a DNS zone. This function also adds an XDNS entry for the domain in the following locations:
/var/cpanel/users/USER file, where USER represents the trueowner parameter's value./etc/vdomainaliases/DOMAIN directory, where DOMAIN represents the new zone's domain./etc/vfilters/DOMAIN directory, where DOMAIN represents the new zone's domain.When you call this function, the system uses the domain name and IP address that you supply. WHM's standard zone template determines all other zone information.
This function generates the DNS zone's MX record, domain PTR, and A records automatically.
Important:
When you disable the DNS role, the system disables this function.
