DNS_ERROR_CLIENT_SUBNET_ALREADY_EXISTS

DNS_ERROR_CLIENT_SUBNET_ALREADY_EXISTS means the requested client-subnet name is already defined on the DNS server. A client subnet is a named group of IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes used by policies.

What to verify

  • Inspect the existing definition before changing it; it may be referenced by one or more policies.
  • Confirm whether the required prefix should be added to the existing logical subnet rather than creating another name.
  • Keep names semantically stable, such as by region, site, resolver tier, or other policy purpose.
