Testing if dns server is ready

[Andy Pieters]

Hi list
I seem to have been able to configure Named thanks to this list.  I can do the 
lookups for my domain and the reverse lookup as well, by specifying the 
localhost as name server.

named-checkzone does not report any errors in the zone files.

What, if any, procedures exist to thorougly test if everything works before 
going to my registrar and changing the primary dns server to this one?


With kind regards



Andy
