named-checkzone
This utility is used to perform syntax and consistency checks on the
contents of a zone.
named-checkzone is run on the command line as:
/usr/sbin/named-checkzone [-dq] [-c] class] zone [filename]
Where
-d is used to enable debugging.
-q is used to enable quiet mode for exit code only.
c class is used to specify the class of the zone.
zone specifies the zone whose contents need to be checked.
filename specifies the file that should be used for checking the contents
of a zone.
NOTE Refer to the named-checkzone(1) man page for more information.
rndc
The remote name daemon control (rndc) program allows the system
administrator to control the operation of a name server.
rndc is run on the command line as:
rndc [-c config] [-s server] [-p port] [-y key] command [comma
nd...]
Where
-c config file is used to specify an alternate configuration file. The
default configuration file is /etc/rndc.conf.
-s server is used to specify the server whose operation needs to be
controlled.
-p port is used to instruct rndc that it should send commands to TCP
port number port on the system running the name server instead of
BIND 9.2.0’s default control channel port, 953.
-y key identifies the key-id to use from the configuration file.
