Error message

internal error when adding resource record set.  Call succeeded but number of records returned is incorrect.  Records sent=%d, records returned=%d, additions:%v

What it means

Consistency guard in CloudDNS changeset Apply: the Change.Create API call succeeded, but Google returned a different number of added records than were submitted. This indicates an unexpected server response and the change result cannot be trusted.
