Help: "update failed" in debug log for Bind 8.2.2

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	The delegation of this zone disagrees with the contents of the zone.
	The NS records in the parent zone are supposed to be copies of those
	on the child zone.

	This needs to be fixed by sending a update to Network Solutions
	or update the zone contents.
