I had a go at getting dynamic DNS working and failed. The way that I managed to get this working was to write a perl script that monitors (tail -f basically) the DHCPD logs and then edits the client config file and forces the director to reload. This method also means that I can trigger other actions when a user's laptop is connected, such as updating my inventory database, triggering bacula backup jobs depending on which subnet (site) the laptop is on. If you're interested, I could post some code. Gary -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T.
