	If you have BIND 9 installed, you can use the named-checkconf 
program that ships with it, to do a syntax check on your 
configuration file.  Likewise, you can use the named-checkzone 
program to validate the syntax of the zone files that you have.

	Both of these programs use exactly the same routines that BIND 9 
uses when trying to load the configuration files and zones, so if 
there are any problems that would cause the configuration file or 
zones to fail to load, they should show up with these programs.


	Once you've got the configuration and zone files loaded in BIND 
9, you can use tools like "doc" and "dnswalk" to take a look at the 
zones as they were actually loaded.
