[dns-operations] validating zones before distribution to secondaries

[Klaus Darilion]

Hello!

In my setup I receive zones from various hidden primaries to my 
"incoming" nameserver. Before my "distribution" nameserver fetches the 
zone from the "incoming" nameserver (and hence sends NOTIFYs to the 
public secondaries) I I want to perform various checks on the zone 
loaded on the incoming nameserver.

Currently I use a freaky Bind9 setup with several perl scripts. Do you 
know if there exists any software tool that were written for such 
setups? For example a Secondary which fetches a zone not automatically 
but only on request? Or a nameserver which fetches a zone but only 
"loads" it if an external tool validates the zone?


Thanks

Klaus
