NOTAUTH means not authorised, not no authority. The update request is
being rejected because the wrong TSIG key is used or the TSIG fails to
validate because the client and server's clocks are too badly out of
sync. Or maybe a BIND9 update-policy clause is making the server
reject the particular update request.
