    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
        <command>named-checkzone</command> checks the syntax and integrity of
    a zone file.  It performs the same checks as <command>named</command>
    does when loading a zone.  This makes
    <command>named-checkzone</command> useful for checking zone
    files before configuring them into a name server.
