NAME
       ldns-notify - notify DNS servers that updates are available

SYNOPSIS
       ldns-notify [options] -z zone servers

DESCRIPTION
       ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that
       an updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform TSIG
       signatures and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone.  If
       a server already has that serial number it will disregard the message.

OPTIONS
       -z zone
              The zone that is updated.

       -h     Show usage and exit

       -v     Show the version and exit

       -s serial
              Append a SOA record indicating the serial number of the updated
              zone.

       -p port
              Use port as destination port (default the DNS port 53) for the
              UDP packets.

       -y key:data
              Use the given TSIG key and base64-data to sign the NOTIFY. Uses
              the hmac-md5 algorithm.

       -d     Print verbose debug information. The query that is sent and the
              query that is received.

       -r num Specify the maximum number of retries before notify gives up
              trying to send the UDP packet.

EXIT CODE
       The program exits with a 0 exit code if all servers replied an
       acknowledgement to the notify message, and a failure exit code
       otherwise.
