Greetings,

Has anyone experienced this error while doing and nsupdate to a Suse10
dns server.

I also get time out errors when my windows clients try and update dns
via dhcp.

in my rndc.key file 
I have created a new key with 
rndc-confgen -k metsi -a

as suggested earlier today.

My /etc/sysconfig/named is set to include /etc/rndc.key

and I have turned off my firewall.

my zones files are in /var/lib/named/master/
They are owned by named 

dig fqnd returns proper values for my current systems as does 
dig -x <ip-addr>
ping fqdn works returns the IP correctly, OK!
ping <ip-addr> works and returns the FQDN, OK!
So dns is working properly, in my opinion.

Its just the zone updates and keys that are a problem.

I have enabled allow-transfer and allow-updates in named.conf

Here is the error I get when running nsupdate:
 
#nsupdate -y metsi:XXXXXXX
>update add test.metsi.gov.za 7200 A 172.150.0.3
>send

Communication with server failed: Time out

Does anyone have clues as to where I can start looking, this server must
only allow updates from the localnets. and dhcp. (Will fight DHCP
later.. 1st get zone updates to work)

:)

Thanks
