Net::DNS::Update when Something Goes Wrong
This is a perl module but my question is pure bind. Is anyone familiar enough with this perl module to say whether the packets are sent as TCP or udp? If udp, one would think that if a packet was sent to do a job and the DNS failed to receive it the world would look the same to the sender as it would if the DNS got the packet and the job went through without a problem. I have been using this module in some scripts and it normally works perfectly but on occasion, we have had things happen such as trying to replace old forward lookups with new ones using the same IP address but a different A record name. The old ones hung around along with the new ones to form redundant A records and nobody was the wiser at the time. If there is that ambiguity, the fix would be to do lookups just after the job to verify that everything went as expected. Thanks.

I should be able to put a strategy together that we can trust using those.
