6 YXDOMAIN

Name Exists when it should not. Used in dynamic updates to indicate a name that should not exist already has records.

When You See This Code

A DNS UPDATE prerequisite check failed because the domain name already exists when the update expected it to be absent.

How to Fix

Review your dynamic update prerequisites. If you expect to create a new name, remove the existing records first or change the prerequisite to allow existing names.
