Greetings,

My DNS doesn't get updated immediatly when DHCP assigns an IP to a
sysem,

Is this possible or is it a manual process?


What I would favour is that the dhcp assigns an IP to a system, and then
updates dns with a system name linked to the IP.
When the system is diconnected the lease is freed and the dns entry
removed.

I have tried the two options in the dhcpd.conf file that I know of but
niether is working...

they are
ddns-update-style interim
ddns-update-style ad-hoc

Thanks
