Dynamic DNS is actually not to difficult, (although it originally took me a day to get it all working) If you are running SuSE, then all you should have to do is download the latest beta copy of DHCPD from ISC and recompile with an extra option. (something like --with-nsupdate from memory) Then you will need to allow updates from your DHCP server in named.conf. If you are running RedCrap then you will also have to recompile BIND do enable support for Dynamic Updates in Bind. (Yet another example of SuSE have the "RIGHT" compile defaults, whcih is one of the reasons I use suse so extensively on my networks.) Cheers Nix At 09:42 AM 17/11/2000 -0800, you wrote:
Look into the dynamic dns information on http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/. However, if you don't know how to do dns, I wouldn't suggest diving into this, it can get *very* frustrating *very* quickly. It is possible to do with just bind and isc dhcp though, no other third party software is needed.

Hi,
Sorry for the beginners question, but
how does my DNS server get to know about leased DHCP IP <-> hostname information?
If the IP address changes from lease to lease the DNS has to be informed by that. I looked into some manpages and howtos but did not find the information.
Thank you very much for a hint and
best regards,
Rainer
