Just off the top of my head, it looks like it's saying that the
	"RRset exists (value dependent)"
prerequisite is not satisfied, and that the system out there trying to
dynamically update your DNS is trying to update a record that does not
exist yet.

If you have any new MSW-2K or later systems on your network, you might
want to look up the section on how to deal with them in "DNS and BIND",
4th edition [not any previous edition!].  If you don't want some user's
workstation randomly updating your DNS, you might want to explicitly
block this or get it turned off at the source.  For right now, of
course, the above message indicates that the update attempt is failing.
