I have a shiny new DNSimple account I need to add some records to. This might be the time to do just that

I'd love to import my zone files into either (or both) DNSimple and Route53 so I can try switching over.

Now, if I could only get into my Zerigo account to get my zone files. Alas!

UPDATE: Zerigo's dashboard is working for me again as of 6:30 EDT. I'm trying to export my zone files, but I get "Error exporting domain for download. Please wait a few minutes and try again." I'll keep trying.

I'm in the same boat as you :(
This seems like a useful thing for Future Me to remember:

Back up your DNS records:

If I did this nightly, I'd have a handy-dandy zone file that I could use to import into $SHINY_NEW_SERVICE right now.

UPDATE: This is relevant for backing up your DNS stuff _if you are already on DNSimple_, since it uses the DNSimple gem.
