Nsdc reload & changes to the zone list

NSD
1

Hi all,
I got asked by a nsd user a while ago over the following behavior:
(1) A zone was added or removed in nsd.conf
(2) nsdc rebuild was run
(3) nsdc reload was executed

Now in syslog the following message can be found:
corrupted database/bad config, zone example.com.
in db /var/db/nsd.db, but not in config file. Cannot load database.
Please rebuild database and start again.

PR 193 concluded that the requirement to do a restart is ok, it was open
whether the message should be changed.

I think something like
corrupted database /var/db/nsd.db or modified zone configuration.
Please rebuild the database or restart the daemon.

is more likely to guide the user to the problem. What do you think?

In the latest 3.1.1 release, the message is changed to:

"cannot load database. Zone foo.com in db nsd.db, but not in config file
(might happen if you edited the config file). Please rebuild database
and start again."

Imo, a less confusing message than the corrupted database message.
