Arif,
First thing, if my understanding is correct, then the number of hosts in
/etc/hosts is not necessary to be the perfect multiple of $numreq :). For
example, if you have 500 hosts in /etc/hosts(currently we do not support
multiple domain, so these 500 hosts should belong to the same zone), and
the $numreq=300, then when you run makedns -n, the 300 entries in front
will be pushed into dns update request, then go into the case "if
($numreqs == 0) {}" and sent out by "$resolver->send($update)"; While for
the left 200 entries, since it's less than 300, so it will not go into the
case "if ($numreqs == 0) {}", instead, it will go into the case "if
($numreqs != 300) {}", so anyway, all the entries will be updated. Please
correct me if I'm wrong.Second, back to your dns error, I saw there were *.jnl files generated in /var/named, so I assume the nameserver should already be working. Have you got chance to try nslookup to verify? Thx.

I found one comment in ddns.pm, it's - # limit to 300 updates in a payload, something broke at 644 on a certain sample, choosing 300 for now. I remember that our system test has verified the case that there are more than 2k hosts in /etc/hosts, makedns -n can work though it takes some time to complete, but not sure if they were using SLES.. Besides, what's in /var/lib/named(ls -l /var/lib/named)? Thx. Jing.

What I find (from my diagnosis) is that the domains are registered up until the multiple of numreqs (the variable I have been playing with in ddns.pm), and the last portion is when the "error was NOTZONE" comes along. I have snipped the domain name below as well <snip> Getting reverse zones, this may take several minutes in scaling cluster. Completed getting reverse zones. Stopping named: . [ OK ] Updating zones.

Are you still seeing the error of "Error: Failure encountered updating .bg., error was NOTZONE" when run makedns -n? You can try to run "XCATBYPASS=yes makedns -n", then see if there is any change in the output? if possible, post me the output. Thx. Jing.
