#!/usr/bin/perl -w $main::VERSION = '0.16'; # =head1 NAME B - Check nameservers for a domain in parallel =head1 SYNOPSIS B [B<-d>] [B<-t>] [B<-v>] domain [server] =head1 DESCRIPTION Each nameserver for the specified domain is queried for the relevant SOA record and the zone serial number printed. Error reports are generated for nameservers which reply with non-authoritative, outdated or incorrect information. SOA query packets are sent to the nameservers as rapidly as the underlying hardware will allow. The program waits for a response only when it is needed for analysis. Execution time is determined by the slowest nameserver. This program is based on the check_soa idea described by Albitz and Liu. =head1 OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS =over 8 =item -d Turn on resolver diagnostics. =item -t Ignore UDP datagram truncation. =item -v Verbose output including address records for each server. =item domain Fully qualified name of domain to be tested. =item server Name or list of IP addresses of DNS nameserver to be tested. =back =head1 BUGS The timeout code exploits the 4 argument form of select() function. This is not guaranteed to work in non-Unix environments. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2003-2006, Dick Franks Erwfranks@acm.orgE This program is free software; you may use or redistribute it under the same terms as Perl itself. =head1 SEE ALSO Paul Albitz, Cricket Liu.
