It might be simplified depending on relationships between the data columns. For example, if the data was arranged as a table like this

dnsname   static-route  next-hop  preference  bfd-enable  tag  service-name 
dnsname1  1.1.1.1/30    2.2.2.2   200         Y           685  XYZ12345-s12345
dnsname2  3.3.3.3/30    4.4.4.4               Y           635  XYZ67891-s67890

Would the first 2 (or 3) columns uniquely define a single row in the table ?
