FreeBSD dns : dlint

Lint for DNS zones (Domain Name Server zone verification utility)

 `dlint' is a Domain Name Server zone verification utility.

`dlint' analyzes any DNS zone you specify, and reports any problems it
finds by displaying errors and warnings.  Then it descends recursively to
examine all zones below the given one (this can be disabled with a command-
line option).

You can run dlint on your own domains, or on somebody else's, because it uses
the standard DNS network protocol.  Dlint is very useful since most nameservers
do no more than syntax-check your database files.  Dlint's messages are very
informative and suggest ways to fix the problems, not just complain about them.

v. 1.3 date: 1999/10/31 23:57:53; author: obrien; state: Exp; lines: +4 -6 Upgrade to version 1.3.3. * Bug fix: grep -v changed to grep -iv (compare domains caselessly). * Bug fix: nameservers now sorted in SOA serial number order, largest first. This way you can dlint the primary server immediately after making changes to it (previously had to wait for secondaries to do their update). * Optimization: if any nameserver does not return an SOA record in Test 1, it is removed from the list of nameservers and a warning is reported. This way dlint won't use broken nameservers during the rest of the run. * Sanity check domain names of nameservers themselves: any nameserver with in-addr.arpa. in its name generates a warning and is skipped.
