Recipe 24.17. Checking Syntax
24.17.1 Problem
All those BIND files! All those commas,
and dots, and semicolons! It's too easy to make
typos—is there a syntax-checker to help?
24.17.2 Solution
Yes, in fact there are two. named-checkconf
checks named.conf, and
named-checkzone is for your zone files. Use them
like this:
# named-checkconf named.conf
# named-checkzone windbag.net /var/named/db.zone.net.windbag
24.17.3 Discussion
Note that named-checkzone needs the zone name,
as defined by the $ORIGIN directive, and also
its corresponding binary database file.
