SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       ldns-notify sends a NOTIFY message to DNS servers. This tells them that
14       an updated zone is available at the master servers. It can perform TSIG
15       signatures  and it can add a SOA serial number of the updated zone.  If
16       a server already has that serial number it will disregard the message.
