DNS on Unix with W2k-Server Updates

Hy,

I have configured my DNS on Unix (BIND 8.2.2-P5 on Solaris 8) so that a
W2K Server can make updates. The Domain of my W2k Server is "luxair" but
he doesn't make the update in the db.luxair file.
I receive the following error messages but no changes:

Dec  2 16:57:41 ettelbruck named[1762]: [ID 295310 daemon.notice] Ready
to answer queries.
Dec  2 17:03:15 ettelbruck named[1762]: [ID 295310 daemon.warning] owner
name "gc._msdcs.luxair" IN (primary) is invalid - proceeding anyway

On the other side, when I change a workstation, the following message
appears but again no changes in the db.172.21.3-file:

Dec  2 17:15:39 ettelbruck named[1762]: [ID 295310 daemon.error] error
processing update packet (NXRRSET) id 276 from [172.21.3.100].2819

root at ettelbruck(/global/dns/named/db)# nslookup 172.21.3.100
Server:  dns-1.svr.luxair
Address:  172.16.2.1

Name:    l0039.mtc.luxair
Address:  172.21.3.100

I receive the correct answer (I had changed the domain adm.luxair by
mtc.luxair) but in the input files is no change so that on next restart
my modifications are lost.

I'm not at all a DNS specialist, but have to configure it. Can someone help.

Regards
Joël
