issue with dhcp and dns

[Tim Judd]

I've had a BIND/DHCP dynamic dns solution, but it was very frustrating
to get it all working together.  Security/ACL/various DHCP clients not
requesting a DNS update, blah blah blah.


If you've never used dnsmasq, look it up.  It simplifies the DHCP, DNS
and dynamic DNS functioning down to a simple file.  If a client
doesn't update, you may need to tweak the dhcp client config file is
all.  recent windows (since 98 or so) always request it.  I've had to
tweak many others.


Good luck.
