Description
RR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone.
Quand vous le voyez
A DNS UPDATE prerequisite expected a certain RRset to exist (e.g., an MX record), but the zone does not contain it.
Comment résoudre
Create the missing RRset in the zone before retrying the update, or change the prerequisite to not require its existence.
Description
Key not recognized. The TSIG key name in the message is not configured on the server.
Quand vous le voyez
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.
Comment résoudre
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.
