Description
RR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone.
When You See It
A DNS UPDATE prerequisite expected a certain RRset to exist (e.g., an MX record), but the zone does not contain it.
How to Fix
Create the missing RRset in the zone before retrying the update, or change the prerequisite to not require its existence.
Description
DSO-TYPE Not Implemented. The DNS Stateful Operations (DSO) type in the request is not supported by the server.
When You See It
Your client attempted a DSO operation (like a keepalive or push subscription) that the server does not recognize or has not implemented.
How to Fix
Verify that both client and server support the same DSO-TYPE. Upgrade the server software or fall back to traditional DNS queries.
