Description:

The nsupdate utility is used to submit Dynamic DNS Update requests as defined in RFC2136 to a name server. It is part of BIND DNS server software. Dynamic DNS Update requests allow resource records to be added or removed from a zone without manually editing the zone file. A single update request can contain requests to add or remove more than one resource record.

For more information, use the -V option to check the current version first, and then find the corresponding BIND Administrator Reference Manual at: https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-01493
