New subject: Dynamic Updates to BitFolk Secondary

15 Apr 2021

Sorry if I'm a bit slow responding - work is hectic and the work/life
balance is a little skewed!

I'm using a TSIG key and DNSSEC mechanism to update the zone - I've been
using the zytrax books as reference:

https://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch7/xfer.html#allow-update

But as the names are dynamically updated, there is no change to the Serial
number

  1. In the zone on your server is the serial number
greater than the 
...
   copy on the
Bitfolk DNS Servers (dig soa domain.com
 @a.authns.bitfolk.co.uk) - repeat for each, including your own? 
 This is what I thought of too. To phrase it a bit differently, when I
 first started doing similar to you (not dynamic DNS, but a 'hidden
 master' with my VPS/A&A as secondaries which actually get used by
 machines on the internets), I initially was forgetting to update the
 serial sometimes. Then the NOTIFY gets sent, but the transfer doesn't
 happen properly because the other side thinks there's nothing for it to
 fetch.

 Maybe that's what is happening here too.

 Cheers,
