NAME
yadifa - utility for controlling yadifad(8)
SYNOPSIS
yadifa [--config|-c configfile] [-s host] [@host ] [-K key-name] [--version|-V] [-h] [--verbose|-v] [-t] command [[-q] zone]
DESCRIPTION
yadifa controls the operation of yadifad. yadifa communicates with a name server over a TCP connection. The protocol used between client - server is an extension of the DNS protocol. The authentication is done by a mutual key between client and server. This key has the same format as a TSIG. Authentication is not needed, but provides more secure communication if used. Several algorithms can be used for creating a TSIG: * HMAC-MD5 * HMAC-SHA1
