NO, don't do that.

That should be pretty self explanatory - it means that the record
"00e06f584da4.example.com A 10.174.10.10" already exists.
This server will NOT overwrite an existing record that it did not put
there itself - this is to stop someone naming their machine the same
as one of your servers and hijacking connections to it !
Delete the record and try again, the dhcp server will attempt to
update again next time the client renews. If that is successful then
you will see the A record and an additional TXT record which is a key
put there so that the DHCP server knows that it created the record
and so it can safely delete or replace it.
