The 8.2.2-p5 BIND supports dynamic updates as defined in RFC-2136. I've only begun to play with this. For my current uses I put something like: $GENERATE 150-200 $ ptr dhcp$.i.foo.com. in my in-addr.arpa zone file and $GENERATE 150-200 dhcp$ a 192.168.1.$ in my foo.com zone file. chris -- Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
