I was under the impression that WINS did this. Under FreeBSD, there's no way unless you do it by running dhcpc (or whatever your DHCP client is) and then send the IP number along with your host name to a server that'll update & HUP the DNS. This could be done with a few scripts pretty easily. > Thanks for any help. > -- > Have a great day... > -- > Gary Lahr (Regional Operations) - lahrg@atlanta.ds.adp.com > ADP Inc. - 6190 Powers Ferry Rd.
