This article was previously published under Q240891 SYMPTOMS
When you configure server running BIND 8.1.2 to allow dynamic updates from client computers running Windows 2000, the log file may fill up with packet processing error messages from clients updating zone information.
CAUSE
This issue can occur because BIND version 8.1.2 logs a packet processing error whenever the prerequisite packet is sent from a client.
RESOLUTION
To avoid having your log files fill up with this error, you may want to disable logging of dynamic updates on your BIND 8.1.2 server. To do this, add the following statement to the /etc/named.conf BIND configuration file.
logging {
category dynamic { null; };
};
MORE INFORMATION
The error is not valid and all the packets are processed and the zone is updated correctly. This issue may be resolved in BIND version 8.2.1.
