Can you delete NS records with nsupdate?

[Lists User]

The problem I am having was that the NS record was a lame record.

In the domain tester.com. I had a ns record for sub1.
example:
update add sub1.tester.com. 10800 NS ns1.anotherdomain.com.

This added no problem.

then when I tried:
update delete sub1.tester.com. NS ns1.anotherdomain.com.
or
update delete sub1.tester.com. IN NS ns1.anotherdomain.com.


It bombed and said:

I guess this is because it was a lame nameserver correct?

Thanks for any help,
