60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein same checks as <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> does when loading a
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein zone. This makes <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>, but it always dumps the
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file

af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
af40ebed6257e4ac1996144530b3de317cf4da11Tinderbox User least be as strict as those specified in the
