2. Click Create secondary DNS zone.

The Public zones section displays the zones if you have already created them. Select Show secondary zones to view secondary zones. This option only appears if you have created secondary zones but have not configured primary zones.

• Select Secondary Zones from the drop-down list to view them.

• To create additional secondary zones, select Create > Secondary zone and enter the details.
