Jul 10 17:00:18 rapsterd named[8968]: dynamic update failed: 'rrset does not exist' prerequisite not satisfied (YXRRSET)

Does anyone know what this mean? Thanks.

Hi,
The message is stating that a dynamic update was attempted, with a prerequisite that a certain RR set exist first. This RR did not in fact exist, so the dynamic update failed.

I think you are using windows 2000 machines in your network which sends dynamic update ( DDNS ) to the BIND server.

Yes, I am using win2k in my environment. How do I handle the error? What do I need to do on win2k to stop this from happenning? Or is this something that can be taken care of on the server end (BIND Server)? Thanks.

Hi,
Better disable dynamic update on all win2000 clients.
1)Right click MY NETWORK PLACES in the desktop
2)Go to properties
3)right click local area connection in that
4)select TCPIP
5)click properties
6)click advanced
7)Go to DNS
8)At the bottom "Register this connection's address in DNS" will be ticked . Remove the tick.
9)give OK
10) it is done. you need not reboot.
Do this on all windows 2000 machines.

Other alternatives: a) ignore it (if you have space for the log to grow -- depends on your site) or b) enable DDNS if it's something your site would like. Enabling DDNS would be done on the BIND side.
