DNS 0 NOERROR vs 18 BADTIME
Both DNS 0 (NOERROR) and 18 (BADTIME) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 0 indicates that no error condition. The query completed successfully and the response contains the requested data. Meanwhile, 18 means that signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
Descripción
No error condition. The query completed successfully and the response contains the requested data.
Cuándo lo verás
This is the normal, successful response to any DNS query — the name was resolved and the answer section contains the requested records.
Cómo solucionarlo
No fix needed. RCODE 0 means the DNS lookup succeeded as expected.
Descripción
Signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
Cuándo lo verás
The clocks on the DNS client and server are too far apart (usually more than 5 minutes), causing TSIG signature validation to fail.
Cómo solucionarlo
Synchronize clocks on both machines using NTP. Check that the TSIG fudge value (allowed skew) is reasonable — the default 300 seconds is usually sufficient.
