ldns-walk – Retrieve the contents of a DNSSEC signed zone
Synopsis
ldns-walk [ OPTION ] ZONEDescription
ldns-walk is used to retrieve the contents of a DNSSEC signed zone. It does this through NSEC-walking (following the chain of NSEC records) and ‘guessing’ the next non-existent owner name for each NSEC.Note that it might get stuck on some wildcard records when used through a caching forwarder. This problem can be circumvented by querying the authoritative nameserver directly (with the @ argument).
Of course the nameserver that is used must be DNSSEC-aware.
Options
- -4
- Use only IPv4.
- -6
- Use only IPv6.
- -f
- Do a ‘full’ zone walk; by default, ldns-walk will only show the names, and types present at those names. If this option is given, all resource records will be printed.
- -s name
- Start the walk with this owner name. Useful when continuing the walk for a large zone.
- -v verbosity
- Verbosity level [1-5].
- @ nameserver
- Send the queries to this nameserver.
