Dynamic update testing

[dharris at kcp.com]

I have successfully? completed compiling, linking, and installing 8.2.2-P5.
'named' starts, runs, and serves to resolve names to addresses and vice
versa.  I think I have set named.conf to allow updates from 147.101.248.17
but nothing seems to happen when I run nsupdate on 147.101.248.17.  The
named.conf file and a screen capture of the nsupdate session follow.
147.101.248.17 is the system which is running the 8.2.2-P5 and is also the
system from which I am testing.  198.62.69.36 is the forwarder which knows
about names and addresses outside the local network.  I created the
named.conf file and ran nsupdate based on the information in "DNS and
BIND", the 3rd edition.  The system osborne.kcp.com/147.101.122.219 does
not currently exist in the DNS databases.  Does anyone out there have a
clue to share?  Thanks.
