History

ZoneCheck was initiated and developed by engineers working at NIC France (INRIA's service) to check the correct configuration of a zone before delegating a domain name under .fr. Its development continued at AFNIC, which took over the activities of NIC France on January 1 1998.
ZoneCheck v1
ZoneCheck v1 was created in 1995 by Benoit Grange and has been maintained by him until 1997. The prototype was a script using the dig command, which evolved into a perl program based on the DNS resolver Resolv5. Vincent Gillet maintained the programme in 1998. This task has been taken over by Erwan Mas and Philippe Lubrano from 1998 until now.
ZoneCheck v2
It is a rewrite from scratch done in ruby at the end of 2002 by Stephane D'Alu, so as to create a modular and extensible version.
ZoneCheck v3
Switching to the DNS library DNSruby, this new version, with the new DNSSEC tests, was made by Fabien Chabanne in 2010.
