Is there a way to update dns without restarting and without
nsupdate?? I tried just editing the .hosts-file but this
seems to be cached by local dns with any SOA-values.

nsupdate does not seem to work the way i did it:
----
update delete test2.domain.de A
update add test2.domain.de 30 A 62.96.170.43

---
The .hosts-file is the same before and after.


Surely this question has been here many times, but i couldn't
find anything in the archive.


Regards,

But did named create a .log or .jnl file? Did you use a DNS
query tool to see whether an address record for test2.domain.de
had been added? You should also try running nsupdate in debug
mode to see if it's working. And remember to use "send" or a
blank line to induce nsupdate to send the update.
