+
+ <p><span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
+ is a tool for sending
+ DNS queries and validating the results, using the same internal
+ resolver and validator logic as <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will send to a specified name server all
+ queries needed to fetch and validate the requested data; this
+ includes the original requested query, subsequent queries to follow
+ CNAME or DNAME chains, and queries for DNSKEY, DS and DLV records
+ to establish a chain of trust for DNSSEC validation.
+ It does not perform iterative resolution, but simulates the
+ behavior of a name server configured for DNSSEC validating and
+ forwarding.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ By default, responses are validated using built-in DNSSEC trust
+ anchor for the root zone ("."). Records returned by
+ <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> are either fully validated or
+ were not signed. If validation fails, an explanation of
+ the failure is included in the output; the validation process
+ can be traced in detail. Because <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> does
+ not rely on an external server to carry out validation, it can
+ be used to check the validity of DNS responses in environments
+ where local name servers may not be trustworthy.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
+ <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will try each of the servers listed in
+ <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>. If no usable server
+ addresses are found, <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will send
+ queries to the localhost addresses (127.0.0.1 for IPv4, ::1
+ for IPv6).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When no command line arguments or options are given,
+ <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will perform an NS query for "."
+ (the root zone).
+ </p>
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="refsection">
+<a name="id-1.8"></a><h2>SIMPLE USAGE</h2>
+
+
+ <p>
+ A typical invocation of <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> looks like:
+ </p>
+<pre class="programlisting"> delv @server name type </pre>
+<p>
+ where:
+
+ </p>
+<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
+<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">server</code></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ is the name or IP address of the name server to query. This
+ can be an IPv4 address in dotted-decimal notation or an IPv6
+ address in colon-delimited notation. When the supplied
+ <em class="parameter"><code>server</code></em> argument is a hostname,
+ <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> resolves that name before
+ querying that name server (note, however, that this
+ initial lookup is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> validated
+ by DNSSEC).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If no <em class="parameter"><code>server</code></em> argument is
+ provided, <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> consults
+ <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>; if an
+ address is found there, it queries the name server at
+ that address. If either of the <code class="option">-4</code> or
+ <code class="option">-6</code> options are in use, then
+ only addresses for the corresponding transport
+ will be tried. If no usable addresses are found,
+ <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will send queries to
+ the localhost addresses (127.0.0.1 for IPv4,
+ ::1 for IPv6).
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">name</code></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ is the domain name to be looked up.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">type</code></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ indicates what type of query is required &#8212;
+ ANY, A, MX, etc.
+ <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> can be any valid query
+ type. If no
+ <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> argument is supplied,
+ <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will perform a lookup for an
+ A record.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+</dl></div>
+<p>

+
+ <div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
+<dt><span class="term">-a <em class="replaceable"><code>anchor-file</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Specifies a file from which to read DNSSEC trust anchors.
+ The default is <code class="filename">/etc/bind.keys</code>, which
+ is included with <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 and contains
+ one or more trust anchors for the root zone (".").
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Keys that do not match the root zone name are ignored.
+ An alternate key name can be specified using the
+ <code class="option">+root=NAME</code> options. DNSSEC Lookaside
+ Validation can also be turned on by using the
+ <code class="option">+dlv=NAME</code> to specify the name of a
+ zone containing DLV records.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Note: When reading the trust anchor file,
+ <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> treats <code class="option">managed-keys</code>
+ statements and <code class="option">trusted-keys</code> statements
+ identically. That is, for a managed key, it is the
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>initial</em></span> key that is trusted; RFC 5011
+ key management is not supported. <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
+ will not consult the managed-keys database maintained by
+ <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>. This means that if either of the
+ keys in <code class="filename">/etc/bind.keys</code> is revoked
+ and rolled over, it will be necessary to update
+ <code class="filename">/etc/bind.keys</code> to use DNSSEC
+ validation in <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>address</code></em></span></dt>

+ Sets the source IP address of the query to
+ <em class="parameter"><code>address</code></em>. This must be a valid address
+ on one of the host's network interfaces or "0.0.0.0" or "::".
+ An optional source port may be specified by appending
+ "#&lt;port&gt;"
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>

+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-d <em class="replaceable"><code>level</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Set the systemwide debug level to <code class="option">level</code>.
+ The allowed range is from 0 to 99.

+ Sets the query name to <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>.
+ While the query name can be specified without using the
+ <code class="option">-q</code>, it is sometimes necessary to disambiguate
+ names from types or classes (for example, when looking up the
+ name "ns", which could be misinterpreted as the type NS,
+ or "ch", which could be misinterpreted as class CH).
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term">-t <em class="replaceable"><code>type</code></em></span></dt>

+ Sets the query type to <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>, which

+ <code class="option">-q</code>, this is useful to distinguish
+ query name type or class when they are ambiguous.
+ it is sometimes necessary to disambiguate names from types.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The default query type is "A", unless the <code class="option">-x</code>

+
+
+ <p><span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
+ provides a number of query options which affect the way results are
+ displayed, and in some cases the way lookups are performed.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus sign
+ (<code class="literal">+</code>). Some keywords set or reset an
+ option. These may be preceded by the string
+ <code class="literal">no</code> to negate the meaning of that keyword.
+ Other keywords assign values to options like the timeout interval.
+ They have the form <code class="option">+keyword=value</code>.
+ The query options are:
+
+ </p>
+<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">

+ <p>
+ Controls whether to set the CD (checking disabled) bit in
+ queries sent by <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>. This may be useful
+ when troubleshooting DNSSEC problems from behind a validating
+ resolver. A validating resolver will block invalid responses,
+ making it difficult to retrieve them for analysis. Setting
+ the CD flag on queries will cause the resolver to return
+ invalid responses, which <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> can then
+ validate internally and report the errors in detail.
+ </p>

+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><code class="option">+[no]rtrace</code></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Toggle resolver fetch logging. This reports the
+ name and type of each query sent by <span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
+ in the process of carrying out the resolution and validation
+ process: this includes including the original query and
+ all subsequent queries to follow CNAMEs and to establish a
+ chain of trust for DNSSEC validation.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This is equivalent to setting the debug level to 1 in
+ the "resolver" logging category. Setting the systemwide
+ debug level to 1 using the <code class="option">-d</code> option will

+ process of carrying out the resolution and validation process.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This is equivalent to setting the debug level to 10
+ for the "packets" module of the "resolver" logging
