Cannot pull reverse zones – unexpected rcode

[gw1500se]

I cannot seem to pull secondary domains from my master DNS. I am getting “Unexpected rcode (NXDOMAIN) from master … Does someone know what this error means and how to fix it? I can manually copy the zones and put them in place and they work. But automatically pulling them does not. Pulling forward zones work fine. TIA.

No. The GUI hoses reverse DNS entries.

Thanks for the reply. Nothing particularly unusual:

zone "xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa" IN {
   file "xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa.bak";
   masters {
      yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy;
   };
   type slave;
};

Same problem here. Using the gui.

I called this in to Apple. The result was a surprise. According to Apple, reverse DNS is not supported via the GUI and an enterprise contract (as opposed to normal Applecare) is required to support it via command line. Interestingly, we also have XSAN installed. Reverse DNS is required by XSAN. Catch-22.
