Hi
Please can you advise. I's been ages since I have configured dnssec .
I used nsupdate (with dnssec) to update a zone file with all the host
current ip's so that they are reachable via a host name even when the
ip has changed (a dyndns.org type of thing).  Everything seems to work
fine named accepts the update and writes it to the .jnl file but when
it try and ping the updated host name  I get "ping: unknown host
greg.za.protetor.net", and this is one the server running named. yet I
the logs show

Dec 10 14:47:52 server named[17862]: client 97.xxx.xxx.127#50043: view
external: updating zone 'device.example.net/IN': deleting rrset at

Dec 10 14:47:52 server named[17862]: client 97.xxx.xxx.127#50043: view
external: updating zone 'device.example.net/IN': adding an RR at
'greg.device.example.net' A

Which is correct from what I remember the last time I did this.

my zone configuration:
/etc/named.conf
zone "device.example.net" {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/device.example.net.db";
        allow-transfer { any; };
        allow-update { key device.example.net; };
};


zone file:

$ORIGIN .
$TTL 3600       ; 1 hour
device.example.net         IN SOA  ns1.example.net. ns2.example.net. (
                                2009120805 ; serial
                                900        ; refresh (15 minutes)
                                600        ; retry (10 minutes)
                                86400      ; expire (1 day)
                                3600       ; minimum (1 hour)
                                )

First of all, are you talking about DNSSEC, or just plain Dynamic Update (presumably crypto-authenticated if this is going to be a publically-updateable zone)? I don't see any DNSSEC records in the zone file you posted.

Secondly, if you do an AXFR of the zone after the Dynamic Update, does it reflect the change?

Thirdly, on the machine which is originating the ping, how is it set up to resolve names? Does it only use DNS? Does it only use *itself* for resolving DNS? Is there some intermediate caching going on (e.g. nscd or equivalent)? If so, have you waited long enough for the entries to expire from that intermediate cache?
