<p><font face="monospace">Hello,</font></p>
<p><font face="monospace">I have a problem with DHCP DDNS update to
BIND 9 reverse PTR zone subnet that is owned by several
organizations, so I can't get a direct DHCP DDNS update access
with a key or with hostname.</font></p>
<p><font face="monospace">I have been delegated domain name <code>192-27.186.198.193.in-addr.arpa
from the upper level admins, and that appears to be immutable.</code></font></p>
<p><code>However, my subnet is 193.198.186.192/27, and DHCP only
knows how to perform DDNS update to 186.198.193.in-addr.arpa.

<p><code>(This setup is because we have DHCP addresses that are not
over NAT, but /24 subnet is shared with other organizations,
even under another Minstry.)</code></p>
<p><code>I want to have the effect of delegating the same database
to upper level under their zone name, while updating the same
database under my DHCP-understood zone name.</code></p>
<p><code>I tried this /etc/bind/named.conf.local:</code></p>
<pre><code>zone "192-27.186.198.193.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "/var/cache/bind/192-27.186.198.193.in-addr.arpa.db";
};
zone "186.198.193.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "/var/cache/bind/192-27.186.198.193.in-addr.arpa.db";
allow-update { key DDNS_UPDATE; };
};
</code></pre>
<font face="monospace"> </font>
<p><font face="monospace">(Two zones with the same file.)</font></p>
<font face="monospace"> </font>
<p><font face="monospace">What I got was:</font></p>
<font face="monospace"> </font>
<pre><code>root@domac:/etc/bind# named-checkconf
/etc/bind/named.conf.local:49: writeable file '/var/cache/bind/192-27.186.198.193.in-addr.arpa.db': already in use: /etc/bind/named.conf.local:44
root@domac:/etc/bind#
Can you please tell me is there a way to achieve the effect of the above (illegal) setup?
I can't change DHCP nor I know an option to tell it to accept update to </code><code><code>192-27.186.198.193.in-addr.arpa</code>
(it is a syntax error).
The DHCP dhcpd.conf subnet configuration is:
</code><code><code>subnet 193.198.186.192 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
range 193.198.186.200 193.198.186.222; # MT 20211210
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.224;
option domain-name-servers 161.53.235.3, 161.53.2.70;
option domain-name "slava.alu.hr";
ddns-domainname "slava.alu.hr";
zone slava.alu.hr. {
primary 127.0.0.1;
key DDNS_UPDATE;
}
zone 186.198.193.in-addr.arpa. {
primary 127.0.0.1;
key DDNS_UPDATE;
}
option broadcast-address 193.198.186.223;
option routers 193.198.186.193;
default-lease-time 43200;
max-lease-time 86400;
}

Thank you very much for your time reading this mail and help.
