Hi, We've just added a dynamic subdomain on our DNS servers for W2K's Active Directory stuff. While I can't comment on the AD stuff, the DDNS (on BIND 8) seems to work nicely (so far - fingers crossed!) and replicates well between our DNS servers. Has anyone done any work on turning WINS lookups (of all record types) into DNS lookups, and WINS [de]registrations into DNS updates? [Since this would solve the lack of WINS replication in Samba problem.] I see Samba can now fire off commands when WINS registrations happen, is there something I can slot in to do DDNS updates and lookups in a specific domain (e.g. 'wins.mydomain.com'). Apologies if there's been something about this already and I missed it.

[global] workgroup = MOMENTUM netbios name = PLUTO name resolve order = lmhosts wins host bcast local master = No wins server = 111.111.2.113 remote announce = 111.111.2.255 111.111.2.113 hosts allow = 111.111.10. 111.111.2. If you're using an NT PDC (I'm not) you probably don't want to use the same OS level, preferred master, and domain master settings as I have. I think the correct settings for use in conjunction with an NT PDC would be: OS level=0, preferred master=no, domain master=no, local master=yes/no (depending on which subnet PDC is on - 'no' if NT PDC is on same subnet as Samba server, 'yes' otherwise). An NT PDC by default acts as a browse master. John Hester Momentum Group
I am using it and it works like a treat. Have a look at: http://www.mosthav.demon.co.uk/perl/dyndns.html Marc -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
