Dynamic DNS

["Adam Williams" <awilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone asked about updating DNS about DHCP leasing.  Here's the except from
the DHCP mini-HOWTO (found on the linux.org Home page).

8. Dynamic DNS.

There is a proposed DNS and DHCP server integration mechanisms to
enable dynamic DNS. You can read RFC 2136 and 2137. Several DHCP and
DNS servers could have proprietary mechanisms to update DNS information.
BIND v.8, which supports dynamic updates, is developed by ISC also,
and i hope DHCPD and BIND would be integrated in short time.

     BIND v.8 URL: http://www.isc.org/bind.html.

I wrote a Python program, which automates adding host to DHCP and DNS
tables. If you want more info on it, write me (mac@rosprint.net). It is
not RFC-compliant, but does dirty work.

It's nice to contribute something to someone on this list,  as I've gotten a
whole lot from it.  If anyone is interested I just setup SSH,  which after
hours of head scratching turned out to be stupendiously simple.  That is one
handy program if you ever do work over the I-net.
