+Zone Import Refactor
+====================
+
+Migrate Zone import code from designate.api.v2.controllers.zones into a new
+designate.dnsutils module and move functionality into Central.
+
+
+Terminology
+===========
+
++----------+---------------------------------------------+
+| Term     | Meaning                                     |
++==========+=============================================+
+| zone     | DNS Zone (also refered to as a DNS domain)  |
++----------+---------------------------------------------+
+
+
+Problem description
+===================
+
+Currently the Import functionality parses the Zone that is POST'ed in the API
+and runs the creation of the Zone with its Records from the API side. There is
+no transactional guarantee of a cleanup if the creation of anything fails.
+
+Also there's a given value of having these methods outside of the API, it can
+be used in any component outside of the API (for example AXFR support).
+
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+
+We introduce a new module called designate.dnsutils that contains functions
+for parsing Zones / Records into dnspython object and dnspython objects to
+DesignateObjects.
+
+Code for parsing a Zone file is already present in the
+designate.api.v2.controller.ZoneController and can be easily extracted.
+
+
+Central Changes
+---------------
+
+We need a new method that takes a Domain and a RecordSetList object, then
+puts this into Designate accordingly.
+
+It should have the ability to either synchronize a existing zone or at a later
+point in time a new zone with it's records.
+
+
+New module dnsutils
+-------------------
+
+dnsutils.from_dnspython_zone(dnspython_zone)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Takes a dnspython_zone and creates a Domain object also runs
+records_to_recordset_list() on each record in the zone.

+
+dnsutils.dnspyrecords_to_recordsetlist(dnspython_records)

+Milestones
+----------
+
+Target Milestone for completion:
+  Kilo-1
+
+Work Items
+----------
+
+* Extract code from Zones controller into new module "dnsutils" / new central
+  method.
+* Change parse_zonefile to call dnsutils.parse_zonefile() and call Central's
+  new method with the results of this.
