Help needed NSUPDATE issue Solaris 8

[Sivakumar Thiyagarajan]

Hi
    BIND's nsupdate seems to be unstable on on Solaris
8.
   Firstly  is returns with an exit status of 1
regardless of the success or failure of the operation.

   secondly named logs double update requests for a
single nsupdate operation. I have given an example
below.

  For the nsupdate commands ( called by a system call
through java.Runtime exec calls ) these are the logs
of the named database files.

*************   END DUMP   ****************

   I notice that for the serial updates from '1 to 2'
and from '2 to 3', there is only one log for the host
(H1000_2 -> 217.10.10.2 ) and (H1000_3 -> 217.10.10.3
) updates.  But for the serial update of '3 to 4'
there are 2 updates for the same nsupdate call.

   Such occurances later lead to nsupdate failur with
'send error' and 'update packet failed' errors.

   Please help.

Thanks
Sivakumar
