|
b10-ddns has made updates to a zone based on an update request and
|
|
|
tried to notify an external component of the updates, but the
|
|
|
notification fails. One possible cause of this is that the external
|
|
|
-component is not really running and it times out in waiting for the
|
|
|
-response, although it will be less likely to happen in practice
|
|
|
-because these components will normally be configured to run when the
|
|
|
-server provides the authoritative DNS service; ddns is rather optional
|
|
|
-among them. If this happens, however, it will suspend b10-ddns for a
|
|
|
-few seconds during which it cannot handle new requests (some may be
|
|
|
-delayed, some may be dropped, depending on the volume of the incoming
|
|
|
-requests). This is obviously bad, and if this error happens due to
|
|
|
-this reason, the administrator should make sure the component in
|
|
|
-question should be configured to run. For a longer term, b10-ddns
|
|
|
-should be more robust about this case such as by making this
|
|
|
-notification asynchronously and/or detecting the existence of the
|
|
|
-external components to avoid hopeless notification in the first place.
|
|
|
-Severity of this error for the receiving components depends on the
|
|
|
-type of the component. If it's b10-xfrout, this means DNS notify
|
|
|
-messages won't be sent to secondary servers of the zone. It's
|
|
|
-suboptimal, but not necessarily critical as the secondary servers will
|
|
|
-try to check the zone's status periodically. If it's b10-auth and the
|
|
|
-notification was needed to have it reload the corresponding zone, it's
|
|
|
-more serious because b10-auth won't be able to serve the new version
|
|
|
-of the zone unless some explicit recovery action is taken. So the
|
|
|
-administrator needs to examine this message and takes an appropriate
|
|
|
-action. In either case, this notification is generally expected to
|
|
|
-succeed; so the fact it fails itself means there's something wrong in
|
|
|
-the BIND 10 system, and it would be advisable to check other log
|
|
|
-messages.
