Mates, I have tried just about everything to get named to dynamically update my 3111skyline.com zone file and it just won't. What is funny/weird is that it WILL dynamically update the 192.168.7 zone file. What gives?? I have tried editing the zone files -- a no no! I have tried nsupdate -k (keyfile.key). I have tried nsupdate -k (keyfile.private) and still no joy. I have tried to uderstand the NXRRSET messages and I don't know why it is being given. What can I try to get the 3111skyline.com zone to update?? Why am I getting the "client 192.168.7.99#3340: update '3111skyline.com/IN' denied" messages???
