DNS 6 YXDOMAIN vs 18 BADTIME
Both DNS 6 (YXDOMAIN) and 18 (BADTIME) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 6 indicates that name Exists when it should not. Used in dynamic updates to indicate a name that should not exist already has records. Meanwhile, 18 means that signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
Deskripsi
Name Exists when it should not. Used in dynamic updates to indicate a name that should not exist already has records.
Ketika Anda Melihatnya
A DNS UPDATE prerequisite check failed because the domain name already exists when the update expected it to be absent.
Cara Memperbaiki
Review your dynamic update prerequisites. If you expect to create a new name, remove the existing records first or change the prerequisite to allow existing names.
Deskripsi
Signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
Ketika Anda Melihatnya
The clocks on the DNS client and server are too far apart (usually more than 5 minutes), causing TSIG signature validation to fail.
Cara Memperbaiki
Synchronize clocks on both machines using NTP. Check that the TSIG fudge value (allowed skew) is reasonable — the default 300 seconds is usually sufficient.
