DDNS Updates fail When More Than 15 Authoritative Servers (NS records) are listed in a Dynamically Updated Zone

[I apologize in advance if this is a double post. I'm not sure if my
original went through]
I was implementing ISC Bind 9.5 at a client site last month and had a single
zone that accepted DDNS updates only from the ISC DHCP service.
The environment consisted of a Master BIND server and almost 25 Windows
slave servers. All DNS servers were listed as authoritative at first. This
caused DDNS updates from DHCP to fail with the following message:
"Unable to add forward map from host.domain.com to 10.10.10.10: DNS format
error".
After spending quite a bit of time troubleshooting this issue with no luck,
I was finally successful with DDNS updates after I reduced the number of
authoritative servers for the dynamic zone to 15. Since I have done this,
the issue has not resurface.
Can anyone help explain to me why this happened and if there is anything I
can do to avoid this from happening in the future?
Thanks,
Christopher Cain
