Duplicating a zone configuration
When you duplicate a zone configuration, you make a copy of it in the same zone database. The
first time a zone configuration is duplicated, the duplicate is automatically given the name
<zonesetlabel>_copy. On subsequent times, a sequential number is assigned to the zone name,
such as <zonesetlabel>_copy_1, <zonesetlabel>_copy_2, and <zonesetlabel>_copy_3.
Note that these naming conventions apply both to duplicate and deep duplicate operations.
