NAME

       ixplore - A tool that provides insights into IXFRs

SYNOPSIS

       ixplore COMMAND COMMAND_OPT...

       ixplore diff ZONE BEFORE AFTER

       ixplore track IP ADDRESS PORT ZONE DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

       ixplore is a tool to work with IXFR (incremental zonetransfers) in two modes (specified by
       COMMAND): diff or track.

       In the 'diff' mode, it will show a diff(1)-like output between BEFORE and AFTER.

       In the 'track' mode, ixplore consumes IXFRs from  IP  ADDRESS  and  writes  the  resulting
       zonefiles  out  to  DIRECTORY/ZONE-serial.  If no initial zonefiles exist, an initial AXFR
       will be done first. ixplore will then check the SOA serial on IP ADDRESS  for  ZONE  every
       SOA Refresh seconds and perform an IXFR if the serial has increased.
