DNS deployment options can be set at various points of the configuration including
the configuration, view, and zone levels. Options set at the configuration level are
inherited by all views and zones within that configuration.
Options set at the view level are inherited by all zones under that specific view. By
default, options set at the zone level apply to that zone and are inherited by all
child zones of that zone, unless the options are overridden. When DNS option
inheritance is disabled, options attached to a zone apply only to the specific zone
itself. Both DNS and DHCP options can be set at the configuration level whereas only
DNS options and SOA records can be configured at the view level and below.
