anyone know what these errors mean? (dnsextd)



Hello all,

I've nearly got dnsextd running successfully, but get some odd errors that prevent my services from being registered. I'm wondering if anyone has seen these and know what they mean.

First, the log...

Message from 10.0.1.200 not a successful update.
----------------------------------


The last two messages are the ones I'm concerned about. "Reply contains non-zero rcode" and "not a successful update".

Here's the setup I have. I have registered a domain (in this example, "mydomain.com") and have been able to successfully point external dns servers to my local server (running 10.5.3). Now, I'm running a named instance on my server that has a subdomain set up ("mbishop.bonjour.mydomain.com."). I've also started dnsextd successfully. The .local address of the server is "smibes.local."

I've gone through the instructions on the dns-sd website both for setting up named and for setting up dnsextd. There were also additional instructions in /etc/dnsextd.conf.

the entry for mbishop.bonjour.mydomain.com. allows updates via "any;" in the configuration file.

Now, I have another machine on my local network that is trying to connect to it and register its services in the "mbishop.bonjour.mydomain.com." domain. It uses the Bonjour control panel to browse and register in the subdomain. The address of this machine is 10.0.1.200.

I'm pretty sure everything is how the docs say. I'm just getting these weird "Reply contains non-zero rcode" errors and being fairly new to DNS, don't know how to interpret them.

Does anyone have any idea what those mean? I can supply any additional info that you need.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.
