\fBnamed\-checkzone\fR, but it always dumps the zone contents to a specified file in a specified format. Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default, since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file loaded by

\fB"local\-sibling"\fR
101
checks that MX records refer to A or AAAA record (both in\-zone and out\-of\-zone hostnames). Mode
103
only checks MX records which refer to in\-zone hostnames.

checks that SRV records refer to A or AAAA record (both in\-zone and out\-of\-zone hostnames). Mode
109
only checks SRV records which refer to in\-zone hostnames.
113
checks that delegation NS records refer to A or AAAA record (both in\-zone and out\-of\-zone hostnames). It also checks that glue address records in the zone match those advertised by the child. Mode
115
only checks NS records which refer to in\-zone hostnames or that some required glue exists, that is when the nameserver is in a child zone.

201
\fBnamed\-compilezone\fR.
206
Specify the style of the dumped zone file. Possible styles are
209
\fB"relative"\fR. The full format is most suitable for processing automatically by a separate script. On the other hand, the relative format is more human\-readable and is thus suitable for editing by hand. For
210
\fBnamed\-checkzone\fR
211
this does not cause any effects unless it dumps the zone contents. It also does not have any meaning if the output format is not text.
216
Check if a SRV record refers to a CNAME. Possible modes are
81
223
\-t \fIdirectory\fR
84
227
so that include directives in the configuration file are processed as if run by a similarly chrooted named.

230
\-w \fIdirectory\fR
89
234

240
Dump zone file in canonical format. This is always enabled for
241
\fBnamed\-compilezone\fR.
246
Specify whether to check for non\-terminal wildcards. Non\-terminal wildcards are almost always the result of a failure to understand the wildcard matching algorithm (RFC 1034). Possible modes are
