Originally assigned to: @ThomasWaldmann on GitHub.

quite some of our tests use the dns entry for "test.nsupdate.info" to do realistic tests (e.g. they update the IP there and then check via a lookup if the update worked).

problem: as all tests use same host, concurrent runs of the test suite cause conflicts / test failures because they all use the same dns entry.

with local py.test runs, this is usually no issue (they run sequentially by default), but on https://travis-ci.org/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info are frequent test fails due to this.

I have rewritten the tests to use a whole test zone instead of a test host and then use py.test fixture(s) to create random host names in there (and use fixture teardown to remove them again).

Locally, all tests work, but I currently see some strange test failures on travis-ci.org ...
