Hi,

I was just reading about this in the Cisco Cookbook published by O'Reilly.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think what happens depends on whether you use
domain names or ip addresses in those commands where you can use either. If
you use domain names, then you should also use the update source with the ip
address that's in the dns db or otherwise, it seems to me, that the domain
won't be able to be resolved.

Please take this with a grain of salt. All I'm going on is what I read.
