Update forwarding

Update forwarding is a DNS concept in some name server implementations that enables dynamic updates to be sent to a name server that is not the primary master name server for the zone being updated. The name server that receives the dynamic update request forwards the update to the primary master name server.

Rule: To avoid possible zone data-integrity issues, ADNR must be configured to update only the primary master name server for a zone. That is, the IP address of a name server on the dns_id keyword of the dns statement must be an address of the primary master name server for the zone identified on the domain_suffix keyword, and must not be the IP address of a secondary name server for that zone.
