True; but it does cause unnecessary network traffic and many, many spurious log entries. Slightly more insidiously, Dynamic Updates will often leave your network and attempt to complete an update operation with other nameservers. Network administrators generally don't appreciate this. I used to run a TLD nameserver and the box used to see anything between 12,000 and 25,000 update requests per day. If you're not using Dynamic Update, please disable it. james To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
