New "host" features are:
o Extensive error checking.
o Optionally (very) verbose output and debugging info.
o Checking for extraneous conditions during zone listings
such as non-authoritative glue records and lame delegations.
o Checking for illegal characters in certain domain names.
o Checking for dangling CNAME pointers without RR records.
o Verify that some host-related domain names are canonical.
o Perform ttl consistency checking during zone listings.
o Recursive traversion of delegated zones up to a given level.
o Maintaining of resource record and host count statistics.
o Option to check reverse mappings of host addresses.
o Option to compare SOA records at the primary and secondary
nameservers of a zone to check for anomalies such as
out-of-sync serial numbers, and other discrepancies.
o Recognition of many new RR types as defined by latest RFCs.
o Allow multiple arguments on command line or from stdin.
o Configurable default options via an environment variable.
o Anticipate non-BIND behaviour during zone listings.
o Facility to maintain local disk cache files for zone data.
Includes "nslookup" and "mxlookup" host wrapper scripts, and an
"rblookup" script to look up blackholed domains on ORBS/MAPS, but
ORBS and MAPS are gone. | ||
