| | named-xfer - ancillary agent for
inbound zone transfers |
SYNOPSIS
| | named-xfer -z zone_to_transfer -f db_file -s serial_no [-d debuglevel] [-l debug_log_file] [-t trace_file] [-p port#] [-S] nameserver ... |
| |
The named-xfer program is an ancillary program
executed by in.named to perform an inbound zone transfer.
It is rarely executed directly, and only by system administrators who are
trying to debug a zone transfer problem. See RFC's 1033, 1034, and 1035
for more information on the Internet name-domain system.

- -z
- Specifies the name of the zone to be transferred.
- -f
- Specifies the
name of the file into which the zone should be dumped when it is received
from the primary server.
- -s
- Specifies the
serial number of the current copy of this zone. If the SOA RR from the
primary server does not have a serial number higher than this, the transfer
will be aborted.
- -d
- Print debugging
information. A number after the ``d'' determines the level of messages printed.
- -l
- Specifies a
log file for debugging messages. The default is system- dependent but is
usually in /var/tmp or /usr/tmp. Note that this only applies if -d is also
specified.
- -t
- Specifies a
trace file which will contain a protocol trace of the zone transfer. This
is probably only of interest to those debugging the name server itself.
- -p
- Use a different
port number. The default is the standard port number as returned by getservbyname(3SOCKET) for service ``domain''.
- -S
- Perform a restricted
transfer of only the SOA, NS records and glue A records for the zone. The
SOA record will not be loaded by named but will be used to determine when
to verify the NS records. See the ``stubs'' directive in in.named(1M)
for more information.
Additional arguments are taken as name server addresses in so-called
``dotted-quad'' syntax only; no host names are allowed. At least one address
must be specified. If the first one fails to transfer successfully, the
additional addresses will be tried in the order given.
