+ <para><command>named-checkzone</command>
+ checks the syntax and integrity of a zone file. It performs the
+ same checks as <command>named</command> does when loading a
+ zone. This makes <command>named-checkzone</command> useful for
+ checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <command>named-compilezone</command> is similar to
+ <command>named-checkzone</command>, but it always dumps the
+ zone contents to a specified file in a specified format.
+ Additionally, it applies stricter check levels by default,
+ since the dump output will be used as an actual zone file
+ loaded by <command>named</command>.
+ When manually specified otherwise, the check levels must at
+ least be as strict as those specified in the
+ <command>named</command> configuration file.
