How to use nsupdate to add NS record for reverse zone.

[Geoff Wild]

What I want to do.

Currently, in my bind 9.2.3, my reverse zone has 2 dns servers in SOA:

$ more 192.168.zone
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 14400 ; 4 hours
168.192.in-addr.arpa IN SOA dns1.mydomain.com. dnsguy.mydomain.com.168.192.in-addr.arpa. (
652395 ; serial
1800 ; refresh (30 minutes)
300 ; retry (5 minutes)
3600000 ; expire (5 weeks 6 days 16 hours)
604800 ; minimum (1 week)
)
$TTL 0 ; 0 seconds
NS dns2.mydomain.com.
NS dns1.mydomain.com.
$ORIGIN 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.


I want to add a third - I know this is easy manually - rndc stop, edit zone file, add

NS dns3.mydomain.com.

update serial, restart named.

I use dynamic dns, so, how can I accomplish the above with nsupdate?

Here's what I'm trying so far:

$ nsupdate
> zone 168.192.in-addr.arpa
> update add dns3.mydomain.com 0 IN NS
>

Doesn't seem to work....

Sorry - no bunny for anyone :(

Answer is:

$ nsupdate
> zone 168.192.in-addr.arpa
> update add 168.192.in-addr.arpa 0 IN NS dns3.mydomain.com.
> send
>
> quit


check_soa 168.192.in-addr.arpa
dns1.mydomain.com has serial number 652396
dns2.mydomain.com has serial number 652396
dns3.mydomain.com has serial number 652396
