a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster <para><command>named-checkzone</command>

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster same checks as <command>named</command> does when loading a

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster zone. This makes <command>named-checkzone</command> useful for

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster <command>named-compilezone</command> is similar to

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster <command>named-checkzone</command>, but it always dumps the

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster loaded by <command>named</command>.

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster least be as strict as those specified in the

a688bcbb4bcff5398fdd29b86f83450257dc0df4Allan Foster <command>named</command> configuration file.
