[...] May I ask, how do you get DHCP-generated IP addresses into the DNS? I've got a DHCP server that assigns addresses just fine, but they can't be looked up because only the fixed addresses are in the DNS. Windows clients can find each other via WINS, but that isn't enough in the long run, I'll need the DNS lookup sooner or later. I could, if that helps, have the master DNS and the DHCP-daemon on the same computer. Perhaps one could let the DHCP server modify the zone file and issue a "ndc reload" when a lease is assigned? But I'll have to handle expired leases too. Thanks, Bernd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
