+ <para><command>named-checkconf</command>
+ checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
+ <command>named</command> configuration file. The file is parsed
+ and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it.
+ If no file is specified, <filename>/etc/named.conf</filename> is read
+ by default.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note: files that <command>named</command> reads in separate
+ parser contexts, such as <filename>rndc.key</filename> and
+ <filename>bind.keys</filename>, are not automatically read
+ by <command>named-checkconf</command>. Configuration
+ errors in these files may cause <command>named</command> to
+ fail to run, even if <command>named-checkconf</command> was
+ successful. <command>named-checkconf</command> can be run
+ on these files explicitly, however.
