9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt<p><span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt same checks as <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> does when loading a
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt zone. This makes <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span> useful for
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt </p>

69b5a878d62fdee1b12e78371ce6cc8abddcad15Dan McDonald <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> is similar to
69b5a878d62fdee1b12e78371ce6cc8abddcad15Dan McDonald <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>, but it always dumps the
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file
73cd555c10e70dac413ae4b40de8450a291750acBin Tu - Sun Microsystems - Beijing China loaded by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt least be as strict as those specified in the
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> configuration file.

9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt Specify the format of the output file specified.
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt For <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>,
9da57d7b0ddd8d73b676ce12c040362132cdd538bt this does not cause any effects unless it dumps the zone
contents.
</p>
<p>
Possible formats are <span><strong class="command">"text"</strong></span> (default),
which is the standard textual representation of the zone,
and <span><strong class="command">"map"</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">"raw"</strong></span>,
and <span><strong class="command">"raw=N"</strong></span>, which store the zone in a
binary format for rapid loading by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
<span><strong class="command">"raw=N"</strong></span> specifies the format version of
the raw zone file: if N is 0, the raw file can be read by
any version of <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>; if N is 1, the file
can be read by release 9.9.0 or higher; the default is 1.
</p>

<dt><span class="term">-k <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>

Perform <span><strong class="command">"check-names"</strong></span> checks with the
specified failure mode.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>
(default for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>),
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span>
(default for <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-l <em class="replaceable"><code>ttl</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets a maximum permissible TTL for the input file.
Any record with a TTL higher than this value will cause
the zone to be rejected. This is similar to using the
<span><strong class="command">max-zone-ttl</strong></span> option in
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-L <em class="replaceable"><code>serial</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
When compiling a zone to "raw" or "map" format, set the
"source serial" value in the header to the specified serial
number. (This is expected to be used primarily for testing
purposes.)
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-m <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify whether MX records should be checked to see if they
are addresses. Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-M <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Check if a MX record refers to a CNAME.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-n <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify whether NS records should be checked to see if they
are addresses.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>
(default for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>),
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span>
(default for <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-o <em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Write zone output to <code class="filename">filename</code>.
If <code class="filename">filename</code> is <code class="filename">-</code> then
write to standard out.
This is mandatory for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-r <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Check for records that are treated as different by DNSSEC but
are semantically equal in plain DNS.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default) and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>style</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify the style of the dumped zone file.
Possible styles are <span><strong class="command">"full"</strong></span> (default)
and <span><strong class="command">"relative"</strong></span>.
The full format is most suitable for processing
automatically by a separate script.
On the other hand, the relative format is more
human-readable and is thus suitable for editing by hand.
For <span><strong class="command">named-checkzone</strong></span>
this does not cause any effects unless it dumps the zone
contents.
It also does not have any meaning if the output format
is not text.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-S <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Check if a SRV record refers to a CNAME.
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"fail"</strong></span>,

<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.

Chroot to <code class="filename">directory</code> so that
include
directives in the configuration file are processed as if
run by a similarly chrooted named.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-T <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Check if Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records exist
and issues a warning if an SPF-formatted TXT record is
not also present. Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span>
(default), <span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-w <em class="replaceable"><code>directory</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
chdir to <code class="filename">directory</code> so that
relative
filenames in master file $INCLUDE directives work. This
is similar to the directory clause in
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-D</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Dump zone file in canonical format.
This is always enabled for <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-W <em class="replaceable"><code>mode</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specify whether to check for non-terminal wildcards.
Non-terminal wildcards are almost always the result of a
failure to understand the wildcard matching algorithm (RFC 1034).
Possible modes are <span><strong class="command">"warn"</strong></span> (default)
and
<span><strong class="command">"ignore"</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">zonename</span></dt>
<dd><p>
The domain name of the zone being checked.
