DNS Error and Reverse Delegation


hello.  i have customer seeing error generated in dns event logs , has asked me take @ it.  this error occurs every time dns started 34 computer records.  these 34 computers in reverse lookup zone different 1 error stating trying write to.  the error follows….

“log name:      dns server

source:        microsoft-windows-dns-server-service

date:          11/4/2011 3:24:21 pm

event id:      4010

task category: none

level:         error

keywords:      classic

user:          n/a

computer:      xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx

description:

the dns server unable create resource record for  134.100.16.172.in-addr.arpa. in zone 16.172.in-addr.arpa. active directory definition of resource record corrupt or contains invalid dns name. event data contains error.”

 

looking @ customer’s reverse lookup zones,  they have…

100.16.172.in-addr.arpa – contains 34 records, dynamic updates (no), ad integrated, dns servers in domain (these match 34 errors being generated)

16.172.in-addr.arpa – contains 582 records, dynamic updates (secure only), ad integrated, domain contollers in domain.  

the 16.172 reverese zone contains delegation record titled “100” has both dns name servers listed.  i told setup due name resolution problems mac clients.  it worth noting errors in event log, reverse lookup 34 computers works fine.

 any suggestions on issue may be?  i leaning toward running tests consolodate both zones one.

a delegation sub-zone of zone delegated different nameserver.

so if understand scenario, , if there a reverse zone has subnetted delegation, delegated nameserver 1 need @ update settings, since server that's doing delegation (your server) passing on delegated nameserver.
