Some questions: 1. What is your DHCP server? H/W and S/W. Are you talking about a Linux box running "dhcpd" or a NetGear router running their DHCP server. This may make just a little difference. 2. Why is your server shutting down? Is this shutdown expected? Also, which server are you referring to? Is this the DNS server or the DHCP server (or both)? You may have problems well outside the issue of DHCP and DNS. 3. Who is trying to perform the DDNS updates? Is this the client machines or the DHCP server? 4. What do you see in your logs? This may answer your question without any more work on anybody's part. 5. What is your DNS server configuration? Who is allowed to perform DDNS updates? 6. When you say that "the DNS record already exists", have you confirmed this? Just query your DNS server for that record and see if it is really there. If it is not, this this message, which I am assuming is from your DHCP server or from your client machine, isn't true. Then again, if it really does exist, why would you think that it magically disappears? If you add a record to a zone, why would you think that it shouldn't still be there? 7. You say you are running "BIND version 9.7.2_p3-r1". Sorry, I can understand the 9.7.2-P3 part, but what is the "r1" you are referring to? (I'll bet you are running Gentoo Linux, but this is just an assumption.) Is this built from the BIND sources from ISC or is this some package that you got from someone else? Questions 2 and 4 are simply reiterations of questions that others have already posed to you. The others are mine. We would like to help and your assistance is critical. Bill Larson
