If your internal hardware can send its hostname with DHCP request, then you can use the standard DDNS (dynamic DNS) feature, present in ISC dhcpd which works with ISC BIND. A common use-case for this is being able to resolve Windows computer names = in a LAN over DNS, if you don't run/allow mDNS in your network. Following is a good HOWTO for this: http://semicomplete.com/articles/dynamic-dns-with-dhcp/ HTH =2D-=20 Ashish SHUKLA | GPG: F682 CDCC 39DC 0FEA E116 20B6 C746 CFA9 E74F A4B0 Sent from my Emacs --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJW0zWjAAoJEMdGz6nnT6SwbPUP/RzjHEdKs3QgBbyre7vlzoAj 9+cltqeJVhzIsusO+vDukaPW4fWzQ9Vs/RWXATmuXCtuI0cPg8xRHV13c02eh75t CSPCYdqRSdg7Ok8I3juh/Rl5x4qZAhfJZKGgNbCyyOi4LvZxbnI+6wtN+lgz+0Gb uX4AM/ayAlo+Kz4N8P9LO0uEl8JnQJr2/PCd1njMj4o6N8xuW1sKLH+DCio31oOv jMx11U/zZjxFacnMdk2dVUBZ0B/9oxOik+ziUp5LZzPyDMqNzPv3jJ8nshjzIlBI 35UG4/tPfT2sEQFuFHt+Y2gIkvFNahgpYh0ke54+Z6r0LWFL6B9P7tT9oZlEwRI5 ueYwMOatjOmyxf1mDenw4MUwHqo4iDl4qRF9GWpfMm7WJB7m/mgMjLz+Nn+EdGUg TjIXvrW9ywfdAD1hYzbU4EoMK3MLAmZxaIPDwuRm4x5U4UBS6pOXTthKWR4gBzdU oBRaWGhYIJESf/2Lu0R1xBwxx6ClurvT0X/p0RZ8EZVRQ9rEMcq2N6Zgq6AD3nkj goAiui6MU0xOrPtQAWXgWlYJi9dQ4QZwt87MrNbWnL54BBj50SKu0QVH5dH1obTU I+V3BCenbeJH9KTHVkQcwpWj25aUxxSu7oLDsArj8VssEH/bF08euC2xBBll5YBd owq1kKbk0IYSG+MvERok =s0nR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
