NAME

       ixfrdist - An IXFR/AXFR-only server that re-distributes zones

SYNOPSIS

       ixfrdist [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       ixfrdist  transfers zones from an authoritative server and re-serves these zones over AXFR
       and IXFR.  It checks the SOA serial for all configured domains and downloads new  versions
       to disk.

       When  a  SOA  query  comes  in  and  the  client's address is allowed by the ACL, ixfrdist
       responds with the latest SOA for the zone it has.  This query can be followed up  with  an
       IXFR  or  AXFR  query, which will then be served to the client.  Should an IXFR be served,
       ixfrdist will condense all differences it has for the domain into one IXFR.

       ixfrdist  is  configured  with  a  configuration  file  in  YAML   format.    Please   see
       ixfrdist.yml(5) for information.
