Authoritative/recursive BIND ops: rndc status + stats, zone validation, cache inspection, local resolution probes, plus narrow operator actions (rndc reload, zone freeze/thaw). Requires rndc key on the runner host.

Install

emisar pack install fetches this pack, re-validates it, and verifies its content hash against the --hash below — the exact bytes this page was rendered against, so a tampered copy is rejected — before copying it into the runner's packs dir. The command reloads a running daemon itself; no manual restart.

on the runner host 
sudo emisar pack install bind --hash sha256:df9cb52eb14dd6cf79726e3a046f24b146359cfab66c01dd40c2fb7d67315bbf
