how does my DNS server get to know about leased DHCP IP <-> hostname information?
It doesn't, at least not automatically.
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.
You need to create some script magic or use one of these: Dynamic DHCP to DNS http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/DHCP-DNS/dhcp-dns.html dhcp_dns http://www.sector13.org/kazin/files/dhcp_dns/ Dynamic DNS http://freetings.com/linux/dydns/index.php3 Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany Power is an illusion; only stupidity is real.
