ldns-notify(1)		     General Commands Manual		  ldns-notify(1)

NAME
     ldns-notify - notify DNS servers that updates are available

SYNOPSIS
     ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers

DESCRIPTION
     ldns-notify  sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that an
     updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform TSIG signa-
     tures and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone.  If a  server
     already has that serial number it will disregard the message.

OPTIONS
     -z zone
	    The zone that is updated.

     -I address
	    Source IP to send query from.

     -h     Show usage and exit

     -v     Show the version and exit

     -s serial
	    Append  a  SOA  record  indicating	the serial number of the updated
	    zone.

     -p port
	    Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for	the  UDP
	    packets.

     -y key:data[:algo]
	    Use  the given TSIG key and base64-data, and optionally an algorithm
	    to	sign  the  NOTIFY.  The  algorithm  defaults  to   hmac-md5.sig-
	    alg.reg.int.

     -d     Print  verbose  debug  information.  The  query that is sent and the
	    query that is received.

     -r num
	    Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up  trying
	    to send the UDP packet.

EXIT CODE
     The program exits with a 0 exit code if all servers replied an acknowledge-
     ment to the notify message, and a failure exit code otherwise.
