We have been bought out, and the new owner says "no static DNS entries". They use some Microsoft technogly where the client machiens register thier names with the corprate DNS. My Windows laptop for instance, may get different IP addresses using DHCP depending on what physical location I connect it in. but it's always the same DNS name. Can anyone sugest where to look for information as to how this works, and how I cna make my FreeBSD machine participate in this? -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.
