fetchzone - Man Page

fetchzone transfers a user-specified dns zone from a zone server and displays it  in csv2 format on the standard output.

fetchzone zone_name zone_server_IP [query_class]

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.

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

fetchzone 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:

fetchzone example.com 10.9.8.78 255

Fetchzone will not correctly output host names with utf-8 characters in  them.
