greetings,

is there a way to programmatically determine if there are any zones
frozen?  if so, any way to determine the specific zone(s)?

what i'm wanting to do is write a monitoring script to sound an alert if
there are any zones that have been frozen for more then x minutes.

rndc doesn't provide that info and i haven't found anything else to
accomplish the task.
Try a "dummy" Dynamic Update and see if it gets REFUSED (???)

Generally speaking, it would be the Dynamic Update clients that alert if they can't get their updates done, not something you'd monitor directly on the server itself.

I think a better question to ask is: why are zones being frozen in the first place? We never freeze our zones. All updates are done through Dynamic Update, even the "specials" or break/fix stuff. At the risk of sounding like a Dynamic Update snob, I consider the freeze/thaw stuff just an awkward transition mechanism on the way to a "pure" Dynamic Update environment.
