c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews same checks as <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> does when loading a
c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews zone. This makes <span class="command"><strong>named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for
c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews <span class="command"><strong>named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to
c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews <span class="command"><strong>named-checkzone</strong></span>, but it always dumps the

c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,
c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file
c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews loaded by <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>.
c3c8823fed039b3a2b8e5ca8bc2f3301d1dd840eMark Andrews When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
