Well, erm. Yes. I sort of based that assumption on the documentation
that says:

        The following categories are available:
        ...

        update  Dynamic updates
        ...

and on recipe 10.7 from the Cookbook, and on p. 171 of the 4th edition,
that says quite clearly that the update category logs "dynamic update
events". Generally, when the 4th edition, the cookbook, and the docs as
shipped from ISC say the same thing, I figure it's safe to assume that
they are right.

Are you saying that they're all wrong?
