The nsnotify
program sends DNS NOTIFY messages for a
list of zones to a list of
targets. You can either provide a list of
targets on the command line, or use the
-f
targets option to read from a
file. To send a notifications about more than one zone, you can use the
-F
zones option to read from a
file.
Note: nsnotify
(without
‘d
’) is a client for sending DNS
NOTIFY messages whereas nsnotifyd
(with
‘d
’) is a daemon for handling DNS
NOTIFY messages.
