विवरण
RR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone.
जब आप इसे देखें
A DNS UPDATE prerequisite expected a certain RRset to exist (e.g., an MX record), but the zone does not contain it.
कैसे ठीक करें
Create the missing RRset in the zone before retrying the update, or change the prerequisite to not require its existence.
विवरण
Bad OPT Version or TSIG Signature Failure. Either the EDNS version in the OPT record is not supported, or the TSIG signature on the message failed verification.
जब आप इसे देखें
As BADVERS: your client sent an EDNS version higher than the server supports. As BADSIG: the TSIG MAC on the message did not match, indicating a shared-secret mismatch or message tampering.
कैसे ठीक करें
For BADVERS, downgrade the EDNS version (most servers support version 0 only). For BADSIG, regenerate and re-synchronize the TSIG shared secret on both endpoints.
