Retrieve a Zone Record — getzonerecord

This function is only available in WHM 11.25 and later.

This function will return zone records for a domain.

To use this function most effectively, you may first wish to run the dumpzone function for the domain(s) whose record(s) you wish to retrieve. The Line output variable from that function call can then be used as a reference to create the input for this function.
