The dnsDeleteAllRecords.pl  is fine, thank you !

> /usr/sausalito/sbin/dnsImport.pl on the exported DNS records 
I tried it before, but not success.  
This time I tried it after DNS function On, then I success.  
dnsImport.pl is perfect.  Thank you !

The other, would you advice me for dns-slave (secondary dns) ? 
Is still dns-import-slavezones.pl  functionally on BO ?
