I narrowed down my problem. I’m getting the output error in dnsextd when attempting to dyamically add a record with nsupdate

“Rejecting Update Request with 1 additions but no lease”.

Looking at the code, it seems like a lease time is not defined when doing dynamic updating. Have you run into this issue before? Is there additional settings for bind/dnsextd that I need to set some default lease time? Or is there another parameter I need to specify when doing the dynamic updating?
I’ll continue to investigate but if anyone has come across this before, let me know.
thanks!

I should have mentioned that I tried the latest version from Darwin CVS. I used the mDNSResponder-214 on this site and dnsextd started up just fine.
My next problem however is that I am unable to dynamically add dns records using the nsupdate command. I get a “update failed: REFUSED” error.
my bind is configured to allow-update from 127.0.0.1. I do not have ::1 as i’m not using ipv6 and it is currently configured without encryption key.
Just for kicks, I’ve also tried to allow-update { any; }; but still get the REFUSED option.
I’ve tried this on two setups. On one setup, nothing information comes out from /var/log/syslog. In my other setup however, i get something along the lines of “dnsextd: Attempting to use unimplemented update”… something along those lines.

Oh just fyi. If i remove dnsextd and revert back to my previous named configuration, i am able to do nsupdate just fine.

Thanks for your guide.
I’m having a problem that I was hoping someone can help me with. I am trying to setup dnsextd on Ubuntu 12.04 Server.
After compiling and setting BIND to listen on 5030, i get the n following error when trying to run dnsextd -vd
ConnectToServer – Success
UpdateSRV: ConnectToServer – failed
main: SetUpdateSRV – Success

in the /var/log/syslog i get the following output if it helps
dnsextd: dnsextd starting
dnsextd: main: setrlimit – Operation not permitted
dnsextd: Using default file descriptor resource limit

any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any additional information.

I tried to apply the patch but I have a compilation erreur: mDNSUNP.c: In function ‘recvfrom_flags’:
mDNSUNP.c.574:4: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
make *** [objects/prod/dnsextd_parser.y.o] erreur 127.

I did exactly the commandes above:
svn co http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/mDNSResponder/tags/mDNSResponder-215
cd mDNSResponder-215
wget http://files.roguelazer.com/projects/dnsextd_posix-215.patch
patch -p1 < dnsextd_posix-215.patch
and
cd mDNSPosix
make os=linux dnsextd

Thank for your help.

ACH is just terrible in general. True fact!

I’ve modified mine to just run Debian instead of their DSM distro.

One advantage of dedicated NAS hardware that I’d note is that it’ll idle down to considerably lower power usage: the DS410 idles around 15W, it’s tough to get anything besides a really wimpy Atom box to do that.

On the other hand, I’ve been having bad thoughts about upgrading to something like a Silmech R513… :)
