Hi- While invoking nsupdate within a program I notice that trying to delete a nonexistant host does not return an error. Same thing seems to happen from the command line which I will show next..
[r...@mandy4 ccadns]# nslookup mandy11.example.com Server: 204.62.134.38 Address: 204.62.134.38#53 ** server can't find mandy11.example.com: NXDOMAIN [r...@mandy4 ccadns]# nsupdate -d delete11 Sending update to 204.62.134.38#53 Outgoing update query: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: UPDATE, status: NOERROR, id: 37857 ;; flags: ; ZONE: 1, PREREQ: 0, UPDATE: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; ZONE SECTION: ;example.com.

Am I missing something in the response section indicating an error? Or can you recommend another approach to avoiding misleading a user into thinking his host was deleted properly? Thanks for the help... -Jim _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
