+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <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.
