I was trying to use nsupdate to automatically update a single A record in our domain to its latest dynamic, but public, IP address. Although it did indeed rewrite the zone file to reflect the new IP address, it also rearranged all the entries in the file into seemingly random order (maybe sorted by hash value, tree-walk order, or even named's internal table address?).
Except for this single dynamic IP address, the zone file is maintained by hand with a text editor, so rearranging it into an arbitrary order would make hand maintenance much more difficult. If there is a way to have nsupdate preserve the original order of the zone file -- simply modifying the one A record "in place" and updating the serial number -- that would be nice. If not I guess I will have to continue using the little Perl script I wrote to do just that.
