NAME¶
getzone - get dns zone from server
DESCRIPTION¶
getzone transfers a user-specified dns zone from a zone server and
displays it in csv1 format on the standard output. This program is here for
compatibility with older setups that use getzone to get zone files; newer
setups may wish to consider using the fetchzone tool to obtain csv2-compatible
zone files.
USAGE¶
getzone zone_name zone_server_IP [query_class]
OPTIONS¶
- zone_name
- Name of the dns zone to be transferred.
- zone_server_IP
- IP address of dns server
- query_class
- Optional argument which can change the query class from 1 (the default) to
255. This may be needed for some versions of Bind.
EXAMPLES¶
To obtain the zone example.com from the server 192.168.9.8:
getzone example.com 192.168.9.8
To obtain the zone example.org from the server 10.9.8.78 using a
query class of 255:
getzone example.com 10.9.8.78 255
