# yaku-getzone(1)

zone transfer (AXFR) tool for yaku-ns

## NAME

yaku-getzone - zone transfer (AXFR) tool for yaku-ns

## SYNOPSIS

yaku-getzone **-z** \<zone\> **-s** \<server IP\> \[-p \<port\>\]

- **-z**

  The zone to download.

- **-s**

  The IP address of the master server.

- **-p**

  Specify a different destination port, the default is port 53.

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **yaku-getzone** zone transfer tool. This is a trivial utility that performs an AXFR request over TCP to some primary DNS server and produces as output the zone in a format compatible with the Yaku-NS configuration file. You can use it to create a rudimental secondary DNS (slave).

## EXAMPLES

- yaku-getzone -z test.org -s 1.2.3.4 \> slave-db.test.org

  ## Initiate zone transfer for the test.org zone from the DNS server 1.2.3.4

Then you need to send a SIGHUP to Yaku-NS to force a local RRs reload. Obviously you need to add an include keyword in the yaku-ns.conf to include the zone. See the example configuration file for more information.
