Testing bind server configuration
Checking zonefiles
To checkzone files one can use 'named-checkzone' command as:
named-checkzone <zone_name> <file_name>
to check description of zone named <zone_name> in file named <file_name>
Checking configuration
To check configuration file such as 'named.conf' use:
named-checkconf [<file_name>]
Checking response times
One of the parameters that can be tested for DNS servers is response time. We can use command:
dig @<nameserver_IP> <test_domain> | grep time
command to see how fast a given nameserver is able to resolve queried domain.
