Hello Guys,

I'm running bind dns under RHEL4 and I'm using nsupdate for secure updates to my DNS zones. It was working fine when I was updating zone files with less entries. But when I'm trying to update huge amount of entries (around 3000) through nsupdate it showing the output: dns_request_createvia: ran out of space

I have googled on this error but not got good clarity. I came to know that their is some limitations on the number of entries that can be updated via "nsupdate" at single shot, but not got the exact picture.

What is the exact limitations on this?? Is this error coming only because of the huge amount of entries that I'm trying to update??

Please help me to resolve this issue..
Thank U..

I think more than 2000 record stop processing sometimes. The limit is not documented anywhere, but may be it limit due to size of journal file that used in case of DDNS.

thanks

hi vishesh,

Thank you for your clarification.
DDNS means you are talking about the process of DNS update by DHCP server?? or update using nsupdate itself??

Also if it may be due to journal file size, is their any method to increase the journal file size limit??

I think update using nsupdate also a DDNS update.
Sorry i don't have idea to increase journal file size.

Thanks

hi vishesh,
