Hi all, I have been battling with this on and off for a couple of weeks now, with varying degrees of success. My big problem is that only thw Win XP DHCP client appears to update the zone, my linux machines do not. The examples I can find on the web are BIND9 specific. I do not really wish to upgrade the stable release of BIND. Can anyone provide help. I will post specific details if requested, want to see if help is available before polluting the ether. :) Cheers. -- Tony

I don't know which DHCP client you're using on your Linux machines, so no answer for you. FreeBSD dhclient needs something like this in /etc/dhclient.conf: send host-name "myhostname"; Check the manpage of your Linux dhclient for commandline options or config file syntax. - Oliver -- | Oliver Brandmueller | Offenbacher Str. 1 | Germany D-14197 Berlin | | Fon +49-172-3130856 | Fax +49-172-3145027 | WWW: http://the.addict.de/ | | Ich bin das Internet.

This claims that the problem was fixed in the version that I am using, so there is hope. I'll battle on. -- Tony
