Name: nslint - Checks for problems in DNS files

Version: 1.7

Author(s): Craig Leres <nslint@ee.lbl.gov>

Ftp source: ftp.ee.lbl.gov

Description:

    Nslint reads the nameserver configuration files and performs
    a number of consistency checks on the dns records. If any
    problems are discovered, error messages are displayed on
    stderr and nslint exits with a non-zero status.

    Here is a short list of errors nslint detects:

        Records that are malformed.
        Names that contain dots but are missing a trailing dot.
        PTR records with names that are missing a trailing dot.
        Names that contain illegal characters (rfc1034).
        A records without matching PTR records
        PTR records without matching A records
        Addresses in use by more than one name.
        Names with CNAME and other records (rfc1033).
        Unknown service and/or protocol keywords in WKS records.
        Missing quotes.
