I suspect you mean "zone domain1.com". "domain" is not a valid command. > nsupdate -k /etc/rndc.key - The man page says that that format > requires a filename in the format 'K{name}.+157.+{random}.private'. > That's a new one on me. Where, why & how is that needed? That's been the case for as long as I've been using nsupdate, at least five years. The filename format is what dnssec-keygen outputs when you ask it to generate a key. One other thing you need to make sure of is that the client and server have their clocks synchronised (e.g. with ntp), otherwise the update will fail. There's an nsupdate HOWTO here: http://caunter.ca/nsupdate.txt and I have a page explaining how to get DHCP3 to do DDNS updates here: http://kirriwa.net/john/doc/ddns.html John -- "Bloody kids.
