DNS 8 NXRRSET vs 18 BADTIME
Both DNS 8 (NXRRSET) and 18 (BADTIME) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 8 indicates that rR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone. Meanwhile, 18 means that signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
설명
RR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone.
이 코드를 보게 되는 경우
A DNS UPDATE prerequisite expected a certain RRset to exist (e.g., an MX record), but the zone does not contain it.
해결 방법
Create the missing RRset in the zone before retrying the update, or change the prerequisite to not require its existence.
설명
Signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
이 코드를 보게 되는 경우
The clocks on the DNS client and server are too far apart (usually more than 5 minutes), causing TSIG signature validation to fail.
해결 방법
Synchronize clocks on both machines using NTP. Check that the TSIG fudge value (allowed skew) is reasonable — the default 300 seconds is usually sufficient.
주요 차이점
DNS 8: RR Set that should exist does not. A required resource record set is missing from the zone.
DNS 18: Signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
You encounter 8 when a DNS UPDATE prerequisite expected a certain RRset to exist (e.g., an MX record), but the zone does not contain it.
You encounter 18 when the clocks on the DNS client and server are too far apart (usually more than 5 minutes), causing TSIG signature validation to fail.
언제 어떤 것을 사용할지
For 8 (NXRRSET): Create the missing RRset in the zone before retrying the update, or change the prerequisite to not require its existence. For 18 (BADTIME): Synchronize clocks on both machines using NTP. Check that the TSIG fudge value (allowed skew) is reasonable — the default 300 seconds is usually sufficient.
