NAME
       nsnotify	-- send	DNS NOTIFY messages

SYNOPSIS
       nsnotify	[-46dtV] [-s addr] [-p port] <zone> <target>...
       nsnotify	[-46dtV] [-s addr] [-p port] -F	zones <target>...
       nsnotify	[-46dtV] [-s addr] [-p port] -f	targets	<zones>...
       nsnotify	[-46dtV] [-s addr] [-p port] -F	zones -f targets

DESCRIPTION
       The nsnotify program sends DNS NOTIFY messages for a list of zones to a
       list  of	targets.  You can either provide a list	of targets on the com-
       mand line, or use the -f	targets	option to read from a file.  To	send a
       notifications about more	than one zone, you can use the -F zones	option
       to read from a file.

       Note: nsnotify (without `d') is a client	for sending  DNS  NOTIFY  mes-
       sages  whereas nsnotifyd	(with `d') is a	daemon for handling DNS	NOTIFY
       messages.

OPTIONS
       -4      Use IPv4	only (apart from the system resolver).

       -6      Use IPv6	only (apart from the system resolver).

       -d      Debugging mode.

	       Use once	to print successful message sends.

	       Use twice to get	dumps of DNS packets.

       -F zones
	       File containing list of zones to	send  NOTIFY  messages	about.
	       There must be one domain	name per line, with no comments	or ex-
	       tra white space.

       -f targets
	       File  containing	 list of addresses to send NOTIFY messages to.
	       There must be one target	address	per line, with no comments  or
	       extra white space.

	       If targets is `-' then the addresses are	read from stdin.

       -p port
	       Connect	to port, which may be a	service	name or	a port number.
	       The default is the domain service, port 53.
