NAME¶
ldns-notify - notify DNS servers that updates are available
SYNOPSIS¶
ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers
DESCRIPTION¶
ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that
an updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform TSIG
signatures and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone. If a server
already has that serial number it will disregard the message.
OPTIONS¶
- -z zone
- The zone that is updated.
- -h
- Show usage and exit
- -v
- Show the version and exit
- -s serial
- Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated zone.
- -p port
- Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for the UDP
packets.
- -y key:data
- Use the given TSIG key and base64-data to sign the NOTIFY. Uses the
hmac-md5 algorithm.
- -d
- Print verbose debug information. The query that is sent and the query that
is received.
- -r num
- Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up trying to
send the UDP packet.
EXIT CODE¶
The program exits with a 0 exit code if all servers replied an acknowledgement
to the notify message, and a failure exit code otherwise.
