ISC-DHCP and BIND 9 DNS: DDNS update fails for /27 subnet P.S.

Hello Crist,

P.S.

Thank you again for your time and effort. Your expertise is very much 
appreciated. The thingy appears to work snappy 😎!

It is true that domac.alu.hr recognizes only itself as the authoritative 
NS for 193.198.186.192/27 zone.
I had to comment out the bjesomar.srce.hr delegation as NS because it 
caused spurious failures in reverse resolution.
Now you have made clear why. The error was made upstream, out of my 
possibility to fix.
I have discretely requested that the zone is enabled on 
bjesomar.srce.hr, but I can't do anything else.

RFC 2317 chapter 5.1 says the name resolution is more stable with the 
secondary (slave) servers for the zone.

Kind regards,
Mirsad Todorovac
