I am running BIND 8.2.2-P5 on Solaris 5.6 . In my Win2k test network
I wanted to test dynamic updates from one specific Win2k box, so I added
this line to the two zone statements (forward and reverse):
allow-update(192.168.1.23);
BIND did not complain about the statement, but it did not allow updates
from that node. I rechecked the BIND book, and I changed the statement
to
allow-update{192.168.1.23};
and BIND complained about a syntax error. I added the missing ";"
allow-update{192.168.1.23;};
and dynamic updates were allowed. Is it a bug in BIND that it did not
complain about my original line that had parentheses instead of braces?
Thanks.
