Hello, there.
Barry, thank for your help.

Actually I had worked at Hewlett-Packard,Japan for one and half of year :
at that time, I was taught the technical term "zone file" as "Domain Data
File".
The contents of 'DNS&BIND mngt' training manual also tells so.... (T-T)
(teardrops)

 Margolin> DNS transfers zones, not files.

It was perfectly my oversight.
There existed NO data loss. Sorry :-)

Looks there should be some shortage of my studying 'bout DNS.
Thank you so much for your advice.
I shall check RFC1035 right now.
