I guess it depends on your configuration. For example, it's quite 
possible more than one attempt (and or method) is being made to update 
your dns. The first attempt succeeds and the second attempt fails (for 
any number of reasons) and results in the 'DNS Update Failed' message. 
The default action for windows clients, for example, is to attempt to 
register with dns.
