Question : Automatic DNS Registration for DHCP Clients?
I have a Linux server with BIND 9 and DHCPd 3 installed. It handles internal DNS and DHCP addresses. I can manually add records to BIND for individual servers/workstations, but I would like for DHCP to post an update to BIND when a workstation gets a IP address and associate that IP with the machine name. So, lets say:
- Computer1 grabs the IP 10.1.20.123 from DHCPd.
- DHCPd gets the name of Computer1 ("mycomputer1") and gives it to DNS.
- DNS adds a record for mycomputer1 pointing to 10.1.20.123.
- If the DHCP address changes, DHCPd updates the DNS record.
Is this possible? Or am I just dreaming? Thanks.

MS does it out of the box, so you can't be dreaming ;)
This revolves around OSX... but it appears limited to DHCPD and BIND so would appear to fit this scenario quite well :)
