Hello,

I want to be able to easily clone a DNS record/zone using the API, pretty much how the 'Clone an existing zone' works in the DNS manager. I noticed the linode api has a linoe.clone method, and it would be great if the dns api had something similar (dns.clone).

It's mainly for convenience, I am using a bash script to automatically add dns records when adding virtual hosts...

Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Since domain.clone would basically be a wrapper around the existing calls (to read existing records and create new ones like them), that seems like something that makes more sense to implement as a script that consumes the API rather than as an API call. Cloning domains differs from cloning Linode: a Linode clone is cloning the contents of the disks, which can't be read via the API, so it has to be a built-in call.

This doesn't mean it's not something we'll add in the future, but IMO it makes more sense as a script than a built-in call.
