named-xfer - Pulls BIND zones from another server
/usr/sbin/named-xfer -z zone_to_transfer -f db_file -s
serial_no [-d debug_level] [-l debug_log_file] [-t
trace_file] [-p port] [-S] servers...
Specifies the name of the BIND zone for the named-xfer
daemon to transfer, for example, dec.com. This option is
required to pull a zone. Specifies the name of the file
into which the pulled zone information is placed. This
option is required to pull a zone. Specifies the current
serial number of the SOA record for the zone
zone_to_transfer. If serial_no is set to 0, the zone is
always pulled. This option is required to pull a zone.
Sets the debug level and determines the amount of debug
information to be displayed. Specifies the file that will
contain any debug messages from the zone pull. Specifies
the file that will contain a trace from the zone pull.
Specifies the port that will be used instead of the
default name server port listed in /etc/services. Performs
a restricted transfer of only the SOA, NS records
and glue A records for the zone. The SOA record is not
loaded by named, but is used to determine when to verify
the NS records. See named(8) for more information. Specifies
a list of Internet addresses, in dotted-quad format,
from which to pull a zone. If the first host cannot be
reached, the named transfer daemon tries to pull the zone
from the next host listed.
The named transfer daemon, /usr/sbin/named-xfer, is a
server that is usually run by the named daemon,
/usr/sbin/named, but it can also be run manually with the
given arguments. The named transfer daemon runs on a BIND
secondary server and pulls BIND zones from a primary
server. This daemon is not run by default, nor can it be
started up from inetd(8).
