nsupdate: A records (glue) in reverse zones

[Sven Hergenhahn]

Hi everybody,

the problem is that I am unable to create an A record in a reverse zone (for 
glue reasons).

Here's what I tried:

$ nsupdate -d
> zone 112.96.130.in-addr.arpa
> update add testarecord.my.domain.com. 900 IN A 130.96.112.13
>

Found zone name: my.domain.com
The master is: nameserver.other.domain.com

Apparently, the zone prereq is ignored. Is that not possible at all? Or can 
anybody  shed some light as to what I am doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance,
