Add an option to transfer tool to not push the updated DNS zone to the cluster

Sometimes we are using transfer tool to transfer very large accounts (100GB+) and this takes a lot of time. A way of mitigating this is to deactivate the DNS-cluster on the target server and make an initial transfer of the cPanel account.

This way the DNS-records won't be updated so the customer won't notice that anything has happened. Then we activate the DNS-cluster and make a second transfer, this transfer will be much quicker since only the changes will be transferred.

I would like to achieve the same thing without having to deactivate the DNS-cluster since this isn't feasible to do on a server which has other customers on it.

I would like an option in the transfer tool API call where I can tell it to not push the new DNS-zone to the cluster on the target server: https://api.docs.cpanel.net/openapi/whm/operation/create_remote_root_transfer_session/
