DNS_ERROR_ZONE_REQUIRES_MASTER_IP
DNS_ERROR_ZONE_REQUIRES_MASTER_IP means the selected zone type depends on one or more master DNS server addresses, but none are configured. Without a master, the server cannot obtain authoritative data for that zone.
What to check
- Verify the zone type and specify the intended master server address or addresses.
- Confirm that the master server is authoritative and permits the required transfer or update flow.
- Test both DNS transport and transfer policy before treating this as a generic network problem.
