NAME

       yadifa - utility for controlling yadifad(8)

SYNOPSIS

       yadifa [-s host] [-V] [-h] [-t command] [-q zone]

DESCRIPTION

       yadifa controls the operation of yadifad.

       yadifa  communicates  with a name server over a TCP connection. The protocol used between client - server
       is an extension of the DNS protocol. The authentication is done  by  a  mutual  key  between  client  and
       server.  This  key  has the same format as a TSIG. Authentication is not needed, but provides more secure
       communication if used.

       Several algorithms can be used for creating a TSIG:

       *      HMAC-MD5

       *      HMAC-SHA1

OPTIONS

       [--config|-c configfile]
               Another config file will be used.

       [--server|-s host]
               Host is the remote server to operate.  If used with a different  port:  e.g.:  ./yadifa  --server
              "192.0.2.1 port 5353"

       [-V]
               Show version information.

       [--help|-h]
               Show a help text

COMMANDS

       [-t freeze [-q zone]]
               disables updates to a zone.

       [-t freezeall]

       [-t reload [-q zone]]
               triggers  the  loading  of  the  zone file(s) if the serial number is incremented.  If no zone is

       [-t cfgreload [-q zone]]
               reload the zone and key sections in the configuration file  and  reload  the  zone  file(s)  with
              increased serial number.  If a zone is specified only that zone section is reloaded.

       [-t sync [-q zone]]
               write  the  zone  to disk and optionally removes the journal.  If no zone is specified, all zones
              are implied. The extra [--clean] option will remove the journal.

       [-t querylog --enable|--disable]
               sets the log for queries on or off.

       [-t logreopen]
