You would probably need to attach your entire named.conf file (with sensitive bits (keys and the like) redacted and perhaps subnets obscured to examples such as 192.0.2.0/24, for example) before anyone would be able to help you.
That being said, your update policy statements don't look correct to me. Have you tried to load them with BIND? Do they pass syntax check? The reason they don't look right is that they seem to follow this format correctly: # (grant | deny ) identity ruletype name types but include the word "name" which I think is meant to be replaced with your actual domain name (ie: I don't think the word "name" should be in the policy). I have not previously used update-policy but I'd think it should be like this: update-policy {grant <SomeKey> <SomeDomain> A AAAA;}; from reading: https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9_18_11/reference.html#namedconf-statement-update-policy -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
