Is there a record checker for tinydns

  • 772

I've got a large number of zone-files in tinydns format, and I'm wondering if there is any lint-like tool to test such a zone-file for correctness?

I could write one in perl, testing the format of each line "+", "@", "6", etc. But it seems like something should be in existence.

Any pointers welcome.

Update: I've knocked up a simple script sufficient for my needs:

linux tinydns

  1. I once did some checks - I think I used a perl program for that. Not sure if it was dnswalk. For most of these tools it does not matter what type of DNS-server you have. They do try a zone-transfer and then analyse the results.

    Update 2012-01-19: I did search my mail-archives today.

    The tool I used 6 years ago (and today again) is called "The DNS-sleuth". It was/is indeed perl-based.
