Hi
BIND's nsupdate seems to be unstable on on Solaris
8.
Firstly is returns with an exit status of 1
regardless of the success or failure of the operation.
secondly named logs double update requests for a
single nsupdate operation. I have given an example
below.
For the nsupdate commands ( called by a system call
through java.Runtime exec calls ) these are the logs
of the named database files.

************* END DUMP ****************
I notice that for the serial updates from '1 to 2'
and from '2 to 3', there is only one log for the host
(H1000_2 -> 217.10.10.2 ) and (H1000_3 -> 217.10.10.3
) updates. But for the serial update of '3 to 4'
there are 2 updates for the same nsupdate call.
Such occurances later lead to nsupdate failur with
'send error' and 'update packet failed' errors.
Please help.
Thanks
Sivakumar
