NAME

ldns-notify - notify DNS servers that updates are available

SYNOPSIS

ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers

DESCRIPTION

ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that an updated zone is available at the master servers. 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.

OPTIONS

-z zone
The zone that is updated.
-I address
Source IP to send query from.
-h
Show usage and exit
-v
Show the version and exit
-s serial
Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated zone.
-p port
Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for the UDP packets.
*-y key:data[:algo] *
Use the given TSIG key and base64-data, and optinally an algorithm to sign the NOTIFY. The algorithm defaults to hmac-md5.sig-alg.reg.int.
-d
Print verbose debug information. The query that is sent and the query that is received.
-r num
Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up trying to send the UDP packet.

EXIT CODE

The program exits with a 0 exit code if all servers replied an acknowledgement to the notify message, and a failure exit code otherwise.
