Description : DNS (Domain Name System) checking tool
DNSdoctor is intended to help solving misconfigurations or
inconsistencies. It will help you by looking for potential errors and
give you a description of the problem and refere you to RFC or other
documents; but of course it is still recommanded that you have some
basic knowledge of how the DNS works.
The DNSdoctor configuration file reflect the policy to use. You can
let it select the best test set to apply when checking a zone (use of
a reverse delegation profile for .ip6.arpa or .in-addr.arpa, and a
generic profile for other TLDs); but on the other hand, you can also
force the use of a particular profile or create a new one (for example
to test RFC compliance).
DNSdoctor is a fork of Zonecheck (http://www.zonecheck.fr/) which is
already packaged in Debian. The future of Zonecheck is unclear. Since
the two programs can apparently coexist, I do not plan to make
dnsdoctor conflicts:zonecheck. Since the CLI is not exactly the same
(the program name is different), I do not plan to make dnsdoctor
provides:zonecheck.
