Ski> I am working with an EMC NAS and it uses the Microsoft Shared Ski> Folders MMC plugin to manage the CIFS shares, sessions, and open Ski> files.

Since we are Ski> not a complete Microsoft AD shop (we use bind), our clients do Ski> not have dns records. I am wondering if:
Ski> 1. Is it possible to turn off the reverse DNS lookups in the Ski> Shared Folders MMC plugin (preferred solution) No idea Ski> 2. If not #1, would it be possible to have a 'fake' dns server Ski> that just returns the the query information and the answer. Then Ski> I could just point a single management client to the 'fake' Ski> server and still get session mgmt working. If you're using Bind, why not have your DHCP server be allowed to do updates? Esp if you're using a seperate subnet or block for your DHCP range, it's easy. Then you'd have proper forward and reverse lookups.
