Thanks for the reference - it is the O'Reilly book that I will be going after, baed on reputation and recommendation. >JO>You mentioned dhcpd and internal dns.

Internal DNS you will find in the aforementioned book. Well my understanding is that up till recently they've been completely separate. Not long ago I asked the dumb fool question - "how can you keep a dns server up to date with IP info, when, by definition it keeps changing?" Then I really got a dirty look when I suggested that dns and dhcp should be provided by the same daemon, or at least a dns server should be able to nose around in a dhcp server's files. It seems there's some work going on putting them together. Does anyone know about that?
