First of all, allow zone transfers from both servers and save them to a file: $ dig @server_1 zone.example AXFR > srv1.db $ dig @server_2 zone.example AXFR > srv2.db $ ldns-compare-zones -a -s srv1.db srv2.db In unsigned zones only SOA serial and SOA mname should be different. If the zone is DNSSEC-signed then there will be a lot of different RRSIG records and so on, you might experiment with ldns-read-zone -0 or -s to clear the differences. Also, do not forget to allow zone transfers for IP address of the client running dig: $ ipa dnszone-mod --allow-zone-transfer=';' I hope this helps.
