Error Processing Update Packet (NXRRSET) Message

[Smith, William E., Jr.]

I'm seeing the following error logged to my messages file:

Feb  8 12:32:51 dnservername.site.edu named[424]: error processing update
packet (NX
RRSET) id 18 from [10.0.0.1].1091

Looking at the db.log for the domain the object is trying to be added to, I
see lines such as this:

[DYNAMIC_UPDATE] id 70 from [10.0.0.1].1426 at 981661079 (named pid 424):
zone:   origin subdomain.site.edu class IN serial 56
prereq: {nxrrset} host.subdomain.site.edu. IN CNAME 
prereq: {nxrrset} host.subdomain.site.edu. IN A 
update: {add} host.subdomain.site.edu. 1200 IN A 10.0.0.1

I've the archives and found some info which basically stated a prereq was
that the host not own any CNAME/A records.  As far as I can tell & see, the
object doesn't own any other CNAME/A records.  Interestingly enough, the PTR
record seems to get in just fine.


Just as FYI, I'm testing a W2K client with the "register connection in DNS
box checked".  I initially got errors about unapproved updates but I quickly
fixed those so my test client could perform the update.  With all the
necessary privileges in place, I then got the errors above.


I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure this one out but must
be missing something.  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
