DNS-Updating: I´m running dhcp-dns on SuSe (switching to debian), do you have checked if "allow-update { localhost; };" in forward DNS record of named.conf is set? If so, try running dhcp-dns from command line to check if there are any errors. Another thing is to check if the dhcpd.lease file is fi

Craig, I believe I answered my own questions. For future reference, I was using an alias for the NS name in my database records. nsupdate barfs when it encounters this and won't do the update. I was getting "res_nupdate: res_findzonecut failed (0)" error on stderr when I ran nsupdate by

Craig, Another tidbit of info. to help out... After running the nsupdate command by hand with what dhcp-dns had created, here is what I got. There is a "res_findzonecut failed (0)" message. Does this mean anything to you? Thanks, ---Dean. srfs1:/var/lib/dhcp-dns# nsupdate -d ./n

Craig, I did find this error in /var/log/messages and looked it up, the mails I've read seem to indicate that the name server can't find this domain? However, everything(nslookup) seems to work fine. The messages log file is listed below if you feel like looking at it. ===>>> "Sep 8 0

Craig, Thanks for all the info. It's amazing what Microsoft will try to pass off as a feature while the whole time opening up your entire DNS structure to the whims of any user out there. Anyway, back to the problem at hand: Will turning this "feature??" off in Win2K allow the dhcp-dns sc

Craig, I'm a bit confused, and it is probably because I don't totally understand how the dynamic dns updates work. 192.168.100.100 is the windows machine that checked out the IP address from the dhcp server(srfs1-192.168.100.20). Should update requests be coming from a dhcp client? How is th
