    <p><span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
      is used to submit Dynamic DNS Update requests as defined in RFC 2136
      to a name server.
      This allows resource records to be added or removed from a zone
      without manually editing the zone file.
      A single update request can contain requests to add or remove more than
      one
      resource record.
    </p>
    <p>
      Zones that are under dynamic control via
      <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
      or a DHCP server should not be edited by hand.
      Manual edits could
      conflict with dynamic updates and cause data to be lost.
    </p>
    <p>
      The resource records that are dynamically added or removed with
      <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
      have to be in the same zone.
      Requests are sent to the zone's master server.
      This is identified by the MNAME field of the zone's SOA record.
    </p>
    <p>
      Transaction signatures can be used to authenticate the Dynamic
      DNS updates.  These use the TSIG resource record type described
      in RFC 2845 or the SIG(0) record described in RFC 2535 and
      RFC 2931 or GSS-TSIG as described in RFC 3645.
    </p>
    <p>
      TSIG relies on
      a shared secret that should only be known to
      <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span> and the name server.
      For instance, suitable <span class="type">key</span> and
      <span class="type">server</span> statements would be added to
      <code class="filename">/etc/named.conf</code> so that the name server
      can associate the appropriate secret key and algorithm with
      the IP address of the client application that will be using
      TSIG authentication. You can use <span class="command"><strong>ddns-confgen</strong></span>
      to generate suitable configuration fragments.
      <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
      uses the <code class="option">-y</code> or <code class="option">-k</code> options
      to provide the TSIG shared secret.  These options are mutually exclusive.
    </p>
    <p>
      SIG(0) uses public key cryptography.
      To use a SIG(0) key, the public key must be stored in a KEY
      record in a zone served by the name server.
    </p>
    <p>
      GSS-TSIG uses Kerberos credentials.  Standard GSS-TSIG mode
      is switched on with the <code class="option">-g</code> flag.  A
      non-standards-compliant variant of GSS-TSIG used by Windows
      2000 can be switched on with the <code class="option">-o</code> flag.
    </p>

	    Keyfiles may be in two formats: a single file containing
	    a <code class="filename">named.conf</code>-format <span class="command"><strong>key</strong></span>
	    statement, which may be generated automatically by
	    <span class="command"><strong>ddns-confgen</strong></span>, or a pair of files whose names are

	    <code class="filename">K{name}.+157.+{random}.private</code>, which can be
	    generated by <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keygen</strong></span>.
	    The <code class="option">-k</code> may also be used to specify a SIG(0) key used
	    to authenticate Dynamic DNS update requests.  In this case, the key

<a name="id-1.14.26.9"></a><h2>INPUT FORMAT</h2>

    <p><span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
      reads input from
      <em class="parameter"><code>filename</code></em>
      or standard input.
      Each command is supplied on exactly one line of input.
      Some commands are for administrative purposes.
      The others are either update instructions or prerequisite checks on the
      contents of the zone.
      These checks set conditions that some name or set of
      resource records (RRset) either exists or is absent from the zone.
      These conditions must be met if the entire update request is to succeed.
      Updates will be rejected if the tests for the prerequisite conditions
      fail.
    </p>
    <p>
      Every update request consists of zero or more prerequisites
      and zero or more updates.
      This allows a suitably authenticated update request to proceed if some
      specified resource records are present or missing from the zone.
      A blank input line (or the <span class="command"><strong>send</strong></span> command)
      causes the
      accumulated commands to be sent as one Dynamic DNS update request to the
      name server.
    </p>
    <p>
      The command formats and their meaning are as follows:

	      <em class="parameter"><code>port</code></em>
	      is the port number on

<a name="id-1.14.26.10"></a><h2>EXAMPLES</h2>

    <p>
      The examples below show how
      <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
      could be used to insert and delete resource records from the
      <span class="type">example.com</span>
      zone.
      Notice that the input in each example contains a trailing blank line so
      that
      a group of commands are sent as one dynamic update request to the
      master name server for
      <span class="type">example.com</span>.

      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
# nsupdate
&gt; update delete oldhost.example.com A
&gt; update add newhost.example.com 86400 A 172.16.1.1
&gt; send
</pre>
<p>
    </p>
    <p>
      Any A records for
      <span class="type">oldhost.example.com</span>
      are deleted.
      And an A record for
      <span class="type">newhost.example.com</span>
      with IP address 172.16.1.1 is added.
      The newly-added record has a 1 day TTL (86400 seconds).
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
# nsupdate
&gt; prereq nxdomain nickname.example.com
&gt; update add nickname.example.com 86400 CNAME somehost.example.com
&gt; send
</pre>
<p>
    </p>
    <p>
      The prerequisite condition gets the name server to check that there
      are no resource records of any type for
      <span class="type">nickname.example.com</span>.

      If there are, the update request fails.
      If this name does not exist, a CNAME for it is added.
      This ensures that when the CNAME is added, it cannot conflict with the
      long-standing rule in RFC 1034 that a name must not exist as any other
      record type if it exists as a CNAME.
      (The rule has been updated for DNSSEC in RFC 2535 to allow CNAMEs to have
      RRSIG, DNSKEY and NSEC records.)

    <p>
      The TSIG key is redundantly stored in two separate files.
      This is a consequence of nsupdate using the DST library
      for its cryptographic operations, and may change in future
      releases.
