NAME

       getzone - get dns zone from server

DESCRIPTION

       getzone transfers a user-specified dns zone from a zone server and displays it in csv1
       format on the standard output. This program is here for compatibility with older setups
       that use getzone to get zone files; newer setups may wish to consider using the fetchzone
       tool to obtain csv2-compatible zone files.

USAGE

       getzone zone_name zone_server_IP [query_class]

OPTIONS

       zone_name
           Name of the dns zone to be transferred.

       zone_server_IP
           IP address of dns server

       query_class
           Optional argument which can change the query class from 1 (the default) to 255. This
           may be needed for some versions of Bind.

EXAMPLES

       To obtain the zone example.com from the server 192.168.9.8:

           getzone example.com 192.168.9.8

       To obtain the zone example.org from the server 10.9.8.78 using a query class of 255:

           getzone example.com 10.9.8.78 255
