Question: DHCP and automatic DNS Updates

Posted by ajt on Mon 26 Sep 2005 at 11:07

How do I get the DHCP server to dynamically update the DNS server? I know it's possible, but how do I do it?

I'm running dhcp3-server 3.0.1-2, bind 9.2.4-1 on Debian Sarge. I found documents for older versions, but not these. A google search turns up several "how tos" but they are different, and slightly conflicting, so far nothing seems to work. I know there are other tools that do this, but I'd like to know how to get this pair working.

As ever, thanks in advance.
