as forwarders. Network Registrar forwards recursive queries to
these servers before forwarding queries to the Internet at-large.
You can use the exception command to override forwarding for
specific domains.
The addForwarder command adds the address of a forwarder for
this DNS server.
The removeForwarder command removes the address of a forwarder.
The listForwarders command lists the forwarders for this DNS
server.
dns flushCache
The flushCache command deletes the currently cached data
records from the DNS server's CACHE.db file. It has no
impact on the in-memory cache and new entries may be added
as currently cached ones are being deleted.
To flush both the in-memory and on-disk cache, it is best
to stop the DNS server, delete the CACHE.db file, and start
the DNS server.
dns rebuildRR-Indexes
The rebuildRR-Indexes command rebuilds the resource record
indexes.
dns forceXfer secondary
The forceXfer command forces full zone transfers for every zone
whose type matches the type (primary or secondary) specified in
the command, regardless of the SOA serial numbers, to synchronize
DNS data store. If a normal zone transfer is already in progress,
the forceXfer command schedules a full zone transfer for that
zone immediately after the normal zone transfer finishes.
Note: The option for primary is not yet available.
dns scavenge
The scavenge command causes scavenging to occur on all primary
zones that have scavenge enabled.
dns serverLogs show
dns serverLogs nlogs=<nlogs> logsize=<logsize>
The serverLogs show command displays the number of log files
and the maximum size for each file.
The serverLogs command allows setting the two server logging
parameters, nlogs and logsize. Either or both may be specified
in the command, and changes will only occur to the one(s)
specified. When setting logsize, a suffix of K or M indicates
units of thousands or millions.
dns serverLogs nlogs=6 logsize=500K
dns serverLogs logsize=5M
