DNS auditing script

For some time (going back to before Sympl forked) there’s been a problem checking what DNS is actually public, versus what Sympl thinks it should have.

I’ve spent some time and built a script which you can run against a domain, and it will check the domain health in general (nameservers are consistent), then iterate through the current DNS templates in /srv/example.com/config/dns/*.txt and compare their contents against public results.

It’s very early, and may well have some interesting bugs, but it do have a go and see what you think.

The script itself is available here, and part of the the sympl-scripts repository.

As an example…

root@sympl:~# ./sympl-dns-audit sympl.host
Detecting authoritative DNS servers... ok
  Nameserver 1: ns1.mythic-beasts.com
  Nameserver 2: ns2.mythic-beasts.com

Checking authoritative servers are in-sync... ok, will use 'ns1.mythic-beasts.com' for queries

Give it a go and let me know how it works.
