Now, I want migrate Windows 2000 to Linux (RedHat Linux). I'm running
DHCP and DNS (named service) in RedHat Linux 8.0. The DHCP and DNS work
well but a workstation can not see the other by name (Now, I must
remember IP of client that DHCP assigned. It's very difficult).
With Windows clients if you give the machine a NetBIOS name and then join it to a workgroup / domain, then clients should see each others with those names in Windows Network Neighborhood. But you want the NetBIOS name to be also the DNS name of the box, yes?
As far as I know the Win2000 DNS server runs a service which allows clients to register their names to it dynamically when online.
I do not know if this possible with bind / other open source DNS implementations. I'd like to hear about solutions for this too, as this is one of the reasons I'm using static addresses / names and not DHCP.

This supports Dynamic DNS with Bind (both projects are maintained by the ISC).
I haven't ever done it, but I did once set up a BIND server that accepted updates by
Windows 2000 Clients that published their TCP service info.
It actually worked better than the Windows Server did,
because if the Windows Server is the primary authoritative server for a zone and you have
a slave server that does zone transfers, the windows 2000 DNS server doesn't
send any of the Dynamic DNS client information as part of the zone, so your
secondary authoritative DNS server responds to queries with authoritative
negative answers and it caches that negative info!
