If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a broken IXFR implementation on
the other end:
if (result == DNS_R_UNCHANGED) {
/*
* This will not happen when executing a
* dynamic update, because that code will
* generate strictly minimal diffs.
* It may happen when receiving an IXFR
* from a server that is not as careful.
* Issue a warning and continue.
*/
if (warn)
isc_log_write(DIFF_COMMON_LOGARGS,
ISC_LOG_WARNING,
"update with no effect");
It would be nice to have the zone name and/or master server name in the
error message. Maybe that was added in a later version (too lazy to
check right now :-)
