zone <name> protect-name|unprotect-name> <name>
The protect-name/unprotect-name command sets the protection
status of the resource records for the name. Protected names
cannot be updated using DNS update requests.
zone <name> forceXfer secondary
The forceXfer command forces a full zone transfer of a
secondary zone, regardless of the zone serial number, to
synchronize DNS data store. If a normal zone transfer is
already in progress, the forceXfer command is scheduled
immediately after the normal zone transfer finishes. An
option for primary zones has not been implemented yet.
zone <name> chkpt
zone <name> dumpchkpt
The chkpt command forces the specified zone name to be the next
one checkpointed. If none are currently being checkpointed
it is done immediately. Otherwise, it is done upon completion
of the current checkpoint.
The dumpchkpt command interprets an existing checkpoint file
and writes its contents to a file in human-readable format.
zone <name> scavenge
zone <name> getScavengeStartTime
The scavenge command schedules zone scavenging immediately
for the given zone regardless of the scavenging interval.
The getScavengeStartTime command returns the date and time
of the next check for stale records, when records might
be scavenged.
zone <secondary-zone-name> promote-to-primary
The promote-to-primary command can be used to promote a
secondary zone to a primary zone (for example, if the primary
DNS server has had a hardware failure).
zone <name> applyTemplate <template-name>
The applyTemplate command applies the specified zone template
to the zone. All properties configured on the zone template
are applied to the zone.
Examples
nrcmd> zone example.com. create primary file=host.local
