        That seems reasonable to me, since the state of the
        zone file after the transaction is indeed the state
        which would be expected, had the host been present and
        deleted.

        If you need to ensure that there actually was a change
        to the state of the zone, you could specify a prerequisite
        in your transaction file, insisting that the RRset or
        label of interest is present before deletion.

        Something like this might do the trick.

key mandy4.example. blahblahblah
server mandy4.example.com
zone example.com

prereq yxrrset mandy11.example.com a

update delete mandy11.example.com a
send
