NAME¶
ixplore - A tool that provides insights into IXFRs
SYNOPSIS¶
ixplore COMMAND COMMAND_OPT...
ixplore diff
ZONE BEFORE AFTER
ixplore track
IP ADDRESS PORT ZONE DIRECTORY
DESCRIPTION¶
ixplore is a tool to work with IXFR (incremental zonetransfers) in two
modes (specified by
COMMAND): diff or track.
In the 'diff' mode, it will show a diff(1)-like output between
BEFORE and
AFTER.
In the 'track' mode,
ixplore consumes IXFRs from
IP ADDRESS and
writes the resulting zonefiles out to
DIRECTORY/
ZONE-serial. If
no initial zonefiles exist, an initial AXFR will be done first.
ixplore
will then check the SOA serial on
IP ADDRESS for
ZONE every SOA
Refresh seconds and perform an IXFR if the serial has increased.
