dns-boot-check(1)	    General Commands Manual	     dns-boot-check(1)

NAME
       dns-boot-check -	check /etc/named.boot file

SYNOPSIS
       dns-boot-check [	option...  ] filename
       dns-boot-check -Help
       dns-boot-check -VERSion

DESCRIPTION
       The  dns-boot-check program is used to check the	named(8) configuration
       file for	correctness.  It checks	for things like	the forwards and back-
       wards mappings exactly corresponding, and for the name  server  records
       all having address records.

       The  filename  on  the  command line is the file	to be checked.	It de-
       faults to /etc/named.boot if not	specified.

       Suggestions for additional checks that dns-boot-check(1)	could  perform
       are most	welcome.

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood:

       -Help
	       Provide some help with using the	dns-boot-check program.

       -Idirectory
	       This  option  may  be used to specify a directory to search for
	       include files.  It may be used more than	once, the  directories
	       will be searched	in the order given.

       -VERSion
	       Print the version of the	dns-boot-check program being executed.

       All other options will produce a	diagnostic error.

EXAMPLES
       To check	your named(8) configuration, you need only say
	      dns-boot-check
       and  the	file named(8) configuration file will be read, and also	all of
       the files it refers to.	Various	cross checks will be made between  the
       files, too.

       If  you	want to	check a	named(8) configuration,	but without installing
       it first	(which can be important	if you need to guarantee continuity of
       service)	put you	new configuration files	together in a temporary	direc-
       tory, with relative paths.
	      dns-boot-check -I. etc/named.boot
       This will access	all of the files as if they were below "."  (the  cur-
       rent  directory)	rather than absolute.  This can	simplify configuration
       management issues, too.

       Suggestions for additional checks that dns-boot-check(1)	could  perform
       are most	welcome.
