Hello,
I am having a problem with nsupdate , or rather dont know the exact
symantics to use for doing the nsupdate. Can somebody point me in the correct
direction please ?

I have a zone like
example.com within that further domains like
www.example.com
ftp.example.com
sftp.example.com etc.

So When i generate a hmac key and associate it with the "example.com" zone
i can successfully do the updates for
www.example.com
ftp.example.com
sftp.example.com etc.

But i'm unable to do the update for the root record, in this case
example.ccom

that is denoted in the zone file like

@ IN A 201.201.202.222

If i try to do an nsupdate on for just "example.com" I get the message
NOT AUTH from the server.

Can anyone please help on whats the syntax to use when doing nsupdate
to the root domain of a zone.

thanks !
