You're right.  It does work.  I mispelled the name of the domain to
update. <sound of palm slapping forehead>

-Maybe that's what's happening in your case, combined with the fact that the
-master of the child zone may not be configured to allow Dynamic Update at
-all for the zone. If so, then you might want to look at using BIND 9's
-nsupdate, which should be compatible with a BIND 8 nameserver, and which

-not tried this, I'm only going by what's in the documentation.
