Hi Evan, Thanks for your reply. I must confess that I am working on my first DHCP and BIND deployment and I'm sure that I don't yet understand everything. So it's likely that I'm working with some wrong assumptions.

That's useful to know, Here's a possibly wrong assumption: there are BIND deployments that use openldap (or an RDBMS, or something else) rather than zone files to hold DNS mappings (name to ip address & vice versa), and these alternative backends are updated when the DHCP server hands out or revokes a lease. Is this so? If so, how is the DNS information updated? >> Can encryption be used to dynamically update BIND's DLZs, just as it >> can if zone files are used? > > I'm not sure what you mean by "using encryption". :-) I'm not sure either. In DHCP config, within a zone { ... } block, there are key <keyname> directives. It seems that BIND & DHCP can use a key to be sure of each other and the validity of DNS updates coming from the DHCP server. Am I on the right track? When I wrote 'encryption' this is what I was referring to.
