dns_zone

Current version: alpha

This programs verfies a given DNS master file as specified in RFC 1035. This program was developed for the use case where you would have to manually transcribe a DNS zone and wanted to check the resulting DNS file for errors. Verifying a DNS bind file for syntactical correctness is better done by using the named-checkzone program included in BIND.

How to use

dns_zone BIND_FILE

[OK]

[NO MATCH]
if the record exists but does not match
[NON EXISTENT]
if the record does not exist
[NOT IMPLEMENTED]
