Descripción
RR Set Exists when it should not. A resource record set exists that the update prerequisite says should not.
Cuándo lo verás
A DNS UPDATE failed because a specific RRset (e.g., an A record) already exists when the prerequisite required it to be absent.
Cómo solucionarlo
Delete the conflicting RRset before retrying the update, or adjust your prerequisite conditions to match the actual zone state.
Descripción
Key not recognized. The TSIG key name in the message is not configured on the server.
Cuándo lo verás
Your TSIG-signed query or update references a key name that the server does not have in its keyring, so it cannot verify the signature.
Cómo solucionarlo
Ensure the TSIG key name matches exactly (case-sensitive) on both client and server. Add the missing key to the server's configuration if it is a new key.
