ldns-notify

Synopsis

ldns-notify [OPTIONS] -z <ZONE> <SERVERS>...

Description

ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY packet to the specified name servers. A name server can be specified as a domain name or IP address.

This tells them that an updated zone is available at the primaries. It can perform TSIG signatures, and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone. If a server already has that serial number it will disregard the message.

-I <ADDRESS>

Source IP to send the message from.

-s <SOA VERSION>

Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated zone.

-p <PORT>

Destination port to send the UDP packet to. Defaults to 53.

-y <NAME:KEY[:ALGO]>

A base64 TSIG key and optional algorithm to use for the NOTIFY message. The algorithm defaults to hmac-sha512.

-d

Print verbose debug information. The query that is sent and the query that is received.

-r <RETRIES>

Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up trying to send the UDP packet.

-h

Print the help text and exit.

-v

Print the version and exit.
