I saw in a BIND newsgroup once IIRC that >non-windows clients could try nsupdate, or some command like that. >Maybe someone else could help here, that's all I've got. nsupdate looks intriguing, but I haven't stumbled on the right combo of usage to getwhat I want. I gt back an error about the "Messge too long" and that the operation timed out. I tried this: nsupdate -d > update delete not_my_name.lucent.com A > update add myname.lucent.com 3600 A 135.aaa.bbb.ccc Didn't seem to work. Again, the DNS and DHCP are Sun Enterprise machines running (minimally) Solaris 2.8. This is driving me a bit nuts.... :-) Shawn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
