NAME
       nsd-xfer - AXFR client to transfer zones from a name server

SYNOPSIS
       nsd-xfer [-4] [-6] [-a address[@port]] [-p port] [-s serial] [-T
       tsiginfo] [-v] -z zone -f file servers

DESCRIPTION
       Nsd-xfer is program to transfer zones from a name server using AXFR.
       NSD is a complete implementation of an authoritative DNS nameserver.

OPTIONS
       -4     Only send to IPv4 addresses.

       -6     Only send to IPv6 addresses.

       -a address[@port]
              Specify the source address (and port) to send from.

       -f file
              The file to store the zone in.

              Specify the port to send to.

       -s serial
              Specify the serial of the current zone. The zone is only
              transferred if the master server has a zone with a greater
              serial number.

       -T tsiginfo
              Use TSIG to verify the zone transfer. The tsiginfo file must
              contain the TSIG key information. The file is removed upon
              successful reading of the key. The format of the tsiginfo file
              is described in the doc/README file (section 3.3).
