Hello. I am hoping that someone can help me to figure out the cause of an
issue I am seeing when running nsupdate on my BIND9 server.
Below you will find all the the details as to how my server is configured
and also the nsupdate commands that I am running.
The issue I am seeing is that I have configured a /16 10.10.in-addr.arpa
reverse zone, however when I execute nsupdate the 10.10.in-addr.arpa.dns
zone file re formats the $ORIGIN to a /24 156.10.10.in-addr.arpa.
This appears to be an issue with nsupdate rather than BIND itself as I can
manually amend the 10.10.in-addr.arpa.dns zone file whcih always remains in
a /16 format.
Please see below for details and if you need any further information please
let me know.
