Ron, If your running both DHCPD and DNS/BIND either on the same server or even on separate servers, then yes, you can configure dhcpd to send an update request to your dns server to update both the forward lookup and reverse lookup zones. This is done using nsupdate. I followed the excellent example in man dhcpd.conf once I had both dns and dhcpd up and running on my local network. Skip to the part of the man page labled DYNAMIC DNS UPDATES. Steve Cowles -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
