Make sure you are using the CORRECT name in the dig query. You used ddns-key.ottawatch.ca instead of ddns-update.ottawatch.ca.
Also you can delete and add in the same UPDATE operation. Remove the first “send” in nsupdate.script. Also ottawatch.ca has DS records but the zone is not signed. You need to fix this as lookups are failing for anyone that is validating responses. ottawatch.ca. 86400 IN DS 63970 8 1 FE95768ADB2B2F9E87B3C6B4210D4C21766A2EC6 ottawatch.ca. 86400 IN DS 63970 8 2 1139FAEF396A03435BD093ACA623306B3307D11163188D4D5143909D 3CEF76EC Mark > On 29 Jul 2020, at 12:30, Brett Delmage <br...@brettdelmage.ca> wrote: > > nsupdate works according to updated contents of a dynamic zonefile but dig > does not report the added A record. > > What am I doing stupidly here? > > BIND version 1:9.16.5-1+ubuntu18.04.1 > - both authoritative and local recursive > > zone config: > zone "ottawatch.ca" > { > type master; > file "/var/lib/bind/master/ottawatch.ca"; > allow-transfer { key "pannier-xfer"; }; > notify yes; > update-policy { grant ddns-key.ottawatch.ca subdomain ottawatch.ca.; }; > }; > > [do I have the correct update-policy syntax?] > (I also tried "update-policy local" with nsupdate -l, with same results.) > > > # nsupdate -D -k ddns-key.ottawatch.ca nsupdate.script > > nsupdate.script: > > server 127.0.0.1 > zone ottawatch.ca. > update del ddns-update.ottawatch.ca. a > send > update add ddns-update.ottawatch.ca. 999 a 3.4.5.8 > send > > zone DB after update and "rndc sync" executed to incorporate .jnl: > > $ORIGIN . > $TTL 900 ; 15 minutes > ottawatch.ca IN SOA cacloud.ottawatch.ca. > hostmaster.ottawatch.ca.
