'nsupdate' to delete non-existent hostname

[Roman Mashak]

Hello,

I ran into problem with using 'nsupdate'. Suppose I want to delete
host.mydomain.com and the record

host  IN  A 192.168.1.1

do exist in my zone file.

Then I run:
#nsupdate
>update delete host.mydomain.com
>;

everything is fine, record is deleted from zone.

But, if I do the same action regarding host1.mydomain.com (and this
name is not regostered in zone file), 'nsupdate' doesn't return any
fault or appropriate exit code.

Is it normal behavior? I checked it with BIND8 and BIND9.
