5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews<p><span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews same checks as <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> does when loading a
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews zone. This makes <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>, but it always dumps the
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews loaded by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
f6da30bb5447c23d880b09f601441e70c5313557Mark Andrews When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews least be as strict as those specified in the
5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> configuration file.

5a4557e8de2951a2796676b5ec4b6a90caa5be14Mark Andrews When loading the zone file read the journal if it exists.
