This IP is allowed to make updates in the named.conf and seems to suceed. The messages arrive in force when wireless WinME clients connect, but occur regularly with static Win2k workstations also. Are these messages of concern? Please advise with any ideas/pointers to relevant documentation (I've followed O'Reilly's DNS and BIND handbook and the DHCPD man pages in setting up DDNS.)
