       This manual page documents briefly the dns_tree command.

       This  manual  page  was  written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       dns_tree is a program that works as a front-end to dig.  Given  a  specific  domain  dns_tree  will  make
       several  dig      invocations  to  fetch  a  zone and it will format the output in in a somewhat sensible
       hierarchical style (a tree).

       Information extracted from the DNS relies on being possible to fetch a zone through a zone  transfer.  If
       the  DNS  servers  for  the requested domain do not allow file transfers dns_tree     will not be able to
       obtain information from the zone.

       All data obtain is cached in ~/.DNS_BROWSE with an approximation of the usual DNS caching rules.   Remove
       all files in that directory to prematurely flush the cache.
