Hi Peter,<br><br>Thanks for clarifying that 'pdnssec check-zone' does more than checking DNSSEC specific syntax.<br>We want to be able to check records to ensure that MX, SRV, and NS records refer to A record, check whether MX records refer to CNAMEs or not. Also whether there exists CNAMEs that are same as the zone name.<br>
<br>Ideally it would be good to have all the checks that bind's named-checkzone provided, that would be relevant in a pdns zone.<br><br>If there is a documentation that's available on what exactly check-zone checks, that would be really helpful. <br>
<br>thanks again.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 4, 2012 at 6:16 AM, Peter van Dijk <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:peter.van.dijk@netherlabs.nl" target="_blank">peter.van.dijk@netherlabs.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>pdnssec check-zone checks many things, not just DNSSEC correctness. It will often catch syntax errors in content fields as well, for example.<br>
<br>
Please give it a shot; and if you see things it should have spotted but did not, please let us know! We would prefer to have your validator work be part of pdnssec rather than a separate tool that does not benefit all PowerDNS users.<br>
<br>
And yes, pdnssec is a very confusing name here. Our apologies for that!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
