[NTLUG:Discuss] Dynamic Clients & BIND

[Neil Aggarwal]

Steve:

You have the same setup as me.

Does your Linux server resolve DNS queries for things
you do locally?

There is nothing I had to do for bind.  Just set
it up so I can query it.  It automatically checks
the machine's name servers if it does not know something.

You may have something wrong in your dhcp config.

Here is what I have in my dhcpd.conf file:
default-lease-time 60000;
max-lease-time 720000;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name "JAMMConsulting.com";
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.254;
}

Maybe you are missing one of these directives?

Thanks,
	Neil
