NAME

       zone2ldap /- Load BIND 9 Zone files into LDAP Directory

SYNOPSIS

       zone2ldap  [-D Bind DN] [-w Bind Password] [-b Base DN] [-z Zone] [-f Zone File ] [-h Ldap Host] [-cd] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       zone2ldap  will parse a complete BIND 9 format DNS zone file, and load the contents into an LDAP directory, for use with the LDAP sdb back-
       end.

       If the zone already exists, zone2ldap will exit succesfully. If the zone does not exists, or partially exists, zone2ldap  will  attempt	to
       add all/missing zone data.

   Options
       -b     LDAP  Base DN. LDAP systems require a "base dn", which is generally considered the LDAP Directory root.  If the zone you are loading
	      is different from the base, then you will need to tell zone2ldap what your LDAP base is.

       -v     Print version information, and immediatly exit.

       -f     Zone file.  Bind 9.1 compatible zone file, from which zone information will be read.

       -d     Dump debug information to standard out.

       -w     LDAP Bind password, corresponding the the value of "-b".

       -h     LDAP Directory host. This is the hostname of the LDAP system you wish to store zone information on.  An LDAP server should  be  lis-
	      tening on port 389 of the target system. This may be ommited, and will default to "localhost".

       -c     This will create the zone portion of the DN you are importing. For instance, if you are creating a domain.com zone, zone2ldap should
	      first create "dc=domain,dc=com".	This is useful if you are creating multiple domains.

       -z     This is the name of the zone specified in the SOA record.

EXAMPLES

       Following are brief examples of how to import a zone file into your LDAP DIT.

   Loading zone domain.com, with an LDAP Base DN of dc=domain,dc=com
       zone2ldap -D dc=root -w secret -h localhost -z domain.com -f domain.com.zone

       This will add Resource Records into an ALREADY EXISTING dc=domain,dc=com. The final SOA DN in this case, will be dc=@,dc=domain,dc=com

   Loading customer.com, if your LDAP Base DN is dc=provider,dc=net.
       zone2ldap -D dc=root -w secret -h localhost -z customer.com -b dc=provider,dc=net -f customer.com.zone -c

       This will create dc=customer,dc=com under dc=provider,dc=net, and add all necessary Resource Records. The final root DN to the SOA will	be
       dc=@,dc=customer,dc=com,dc=provider,dc=net.

NAME

       named-checkzone - zone file validity checking tool

SYNOPSIS

       named-checkzone [-djqv] [-c class] [-k mode] [-n mode]
	    [-o filename] [-t directory] [-w directory] [-D]
	    zonename filename

DESCRIPTION

       The  named-checkzone  utility  checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the same checks as named(1M) does when loading a
       zone. The named-checkzone utility is useful for checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c class        Specify the class of the zone. If not specified, "IN" is assumed.

       -d	       Enable debugging.

       -D	       Dump zone file in canonical format.

       -k mode	       Perform "check-name" checks with the specified failure mode. Possible modes are "fail", "warn" (the default) and "ignore".

       -j	       Read the journal, if it exists, when loading the zone file.

       -n mode	       Specify whether NS records should be checked to see if they are addresses. Possible modes are "fail", "warn" (the  default)
		       and "ignore".

       -o filename     Write zone output to filename.

       -q	       Run in quiet mode, reporting only the exit status.

       -t directory    chroot  to  directory  so that include directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted
		       named.

       -v	       Print the version of the named-checkzone program and exit.

       -w directory    chdir to directory so that relative filenames in master file $INCLUDE directives work. This is similar  to   the  directory
		       clause in named.conf.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       filename    The name of the zone file.

       zonename    The domain name of the zone being checked.

EXIT STATUS

       0    No errors were detected.

       1    An error was detected.
